When breaking into a nefarious and/or mysterious science facility, one should always come prepared. And in the case of They Cloned Tyrone, one should always come prepared… with the right song for the lengthy elevator ride into the depths of a creepy building.
The trailer for the upcoming movie from writer-director Juel Taylor (Creed II, Space Jam: A New Legacy) lingers on the scene of Jamie Foxx, Teyonah Parris, and John Boyega’s entrance into a dark lab—a moment that might seem excruciatingly stressful. Or it might seem like a great time to break into song.
It’s a pretty effective way to set the tone.
They Cloned Tyrone is full of conspiracies and mysteries, cameras and monitors and well-planned outfits. Netflix’s brief summary simply says “A series of eerie events thrusts an unlikely trio (John Boyega, Teyonah Parris and Jamie Foxx) onto the trail of a nefarious government experiment in this pulpy mystery caper.” But it sure looks like there’s a fair dose of pointed social commentary mixed in with the pulp and hijinks. What happens when a wild-sounding conspiracy turns out to be true?
Netflix has yet to announce an exact premiere date for They Cloned Tyrone, but it’s coming to a small screen near you in 2023.
