John Boyega & Teyonah Parris Premiere Their New Netflix Movie 'They Cloned Tyrone' in Hollywood

“They Cloned Tyrone,” per a request from the film’s director Juel Taylor.“Everybody I’ve ever talked to, as soon as I told them the [movie’s] title, they were like, ‘So Erykah Badu doing the song?’ and I’m like, ‘Trust me, I’m trying.’” Taylor said, describing the early stages of developing “They Cloned Tyrone,” which is his feature film directorial debut and stars Teyonah Parris, John Boyega and Jamie Foxx. At the time, he hoped he would be able to include a reimagined version of the Grammy-winner’s song. “You don’t really think it’s going to happen,” Taylor said. “Serendipitously enough, I was able to pitch it to her, and she responded immediately.

Rather resembling a blaxploitation-based cousin of Invasion of the Body Snatchers with a deeper sense of social consciousness, They Cloned Tyrone is a predominately grim yet intriguing account of constrained, little-hope lives victimized even further by nefarious secret attempts to transform them into obedient, well-behaved zombies. Set in what appears to be the late ‘60s-early ‘70s based on the period cars, outfits and outlandish hairstyles, Juel Taylor’s feature directorial debut, which he wrote with Tony Rettenmaier, delivers live-wire performances from the young cast but nonetheless remains notably dire, even forlorn in its depiction of small-town lives momentarily confronted with a bizarre enemy found right in their midst. This Netflix offering opens theatrically July 14 for a week prior to its move to home tubes July 21.

“They Cloned Tyrone” welcomes watchers to The Glen, a normal, everyday neighborhood where its predominately Black residents live out their lives shopping, going to church and enjoying the fruits of their labor. However, beneath the surface, but right in front of their eyes, the government is executing a plot that has a mission to keep the community in an endless cycle of unhealthy behavior that ultimately blocks them from mental and financial wellness. “They Cloned Tyrone” is written by Juel Taylor and his writing partner Tony Rettenmaier, with Taylor sitting in the director’s chair for what is now his feature directorial debut.  Here’s everything you need to know about “They Cloned Tyrone.”“They Cloned Tyrone” comes out in select theaters on Friday, July 14, and will be streaming globally on Netflix at 12 a.m.
