John Boyegamay havewalked away disappointedwith his experience working on the newStar Warstrilogy, but that hasn’t turned him off sci-fi in general. The actor is slated to star in the Netflix original sci-fi mystery movieThey Cloned Tyrone, and he’s finally getting some company in front of the camera.Jamie FoxxandTeyonah Parris(Chi-raq,Candyman) have joined the cast of the movie.The Hollywood Reporterhas news on theThey Cloned Tyronecast expanding with Jamie Foxx and Teyonah Parris, but it hasn’t been specified who their characters are. John Boyega is leading the film, and it seems that these two new additions to the cast will fill out the trio at the center of the movie who investigates a series of eerie events, alerting them to a nefarious conspiracy lurking directly beneath their hood. We don’t know the entire conspiracy, but we’re betting it has something to do with cloning someone named Tyrone.They Cloned Tyronewill mark the directorial debut ofCreed IIwriterJuel Taylor, who co-wrote the script for this new movie withTony Rettenmaier. They’ll both also be producing withCharles Kingand his Macro production banner, along withStephen “Dr.” LoveandKim Roth.Poppy HanksandMark R. Wrightare also executive producing for Macro.
Back in 2019,They Cloned Tyronewas one of the films namedon The Black List, a collection of the best unproduced screedplays in Hollywood. Thankfully, Netflix snatched up the movie that has been described as a “pulpy, sci-fi mystery caper” that is like a combination ofFridayandGet Out.
John Boyega has already shown his strengths in comedy and sci-fi action thanks toAttack the Blockand theStar Warsfranchise. Foxx is just coming off another Netflix sci-fi movie,Project Power, and we know he can handle comedy very well. And finally Teyonah Parris has proven to be quite the diverse actress too, with supporting roles inMad Men,They Came Together,If Beale Street Could Talk, andEmpire. Plus, she’s also playing a grown Monica Rambeau in Marvel’s upcomingWandaVisionseries on Disney+. So having all three of them together for a pulpy movie like this should be something worth watching whenever it arrives on Netflix.
