Before we get into the full preview, here’s the first look teaser that Netflix put out in September 2022.

Release Date of They Cloned Tyrone

They Cloned Tyrone, an R-rated sci-fi comedy, was first thought to come out at the end of 2022, but now we know that it will be available on Netflix on July 21, 2023. The movie will only be available to stream on Netflix, and there are no plans for it to be shown in theatres.

Official Trailer of They Cloned Tyrone

The first trailer came out at Netflix’s TUDUM event on September 24, 2022. It starts with a scene in an elevator with the characters played by Boyega, Teyonah Parris, and Jamie Foxx. Even though both Parris and Foxx’s characters have guns, they have a funny moment when they start singing Mary J. Blige’s “I’m Going Down.”

Then, the three of them are shown breaking into a scientific facility. This is just the beginning of a big plot that puts a Black neighborhood in danger through experiments, kidnappings, and surveillance. In addition to the serious mystery at the center of the movie, the main three characters are a lot of fun to watch.

Official Synopsis of They Cloned Tyrone

When Boyega was first cast in the film in 2019, it was called “Friday meets Get Out,” which shows that it has a comedic tone mixed with a scary mystery and could be a comment on the experiences of the Black community. The official synopsis from Netflix is:

A series of eerie events thrusts an unlikely trio (John Boyega, Jamie Foxx and Teyonah Parris) onto the trail of a nefarious government conspiracy.

But the official synopsis goes into more detail about the mystery that the film’s title already hints at.

A pulpy, sci-fi mystery caper in which an unlikely trio investigates a series of eerie events, alerting them to a nefarious conspiracy lurking directly beneath their hood. Fontaine, a neighborhood drug dealer, is shot dead by rival Isaac and then is very shocked to wake up in his bed the next morning unharmed. He and Slick Charles and Yo-Yo begin looking into the incident, and their search eventually leads them to a vast underground complex where a government-backed lab is performing experiments on the local Black population. Realizing that he is an artificial clone controlled by Nixon, Fontaine initially feels despair, but decides he needs to stand up to these white institutional overlords for the sake of his neighborhood.

Who’s In They Cloned Tyrone Cast?

Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta), who was supposed to play Tyrone Fontaine, has been replaced by John Boyega, who will play the lead role. Yo-Yo is one of the main three characters. Parris, who recently made her MCU debut as an adult Monica Rambeau in WandaVision, will play her in The Marvels. Foxx plays Slick Charles and is also a producer for the movie.

Juel Taylor, who wrote the scripts for Creed II and Space Jam: A New Legacy, will direct this movie for the first time. Taylor and Tony Rettenmaier, who works with him often, also wrote the script together. Ken Seng is in charge of the cinematography.

He has worked on movies like Deadpool, Project X, and Terminator: Dark Fate. Pierre Charles wrote the music for the movie. His music was recently used in Inventing Anna, Euphoria, and Bridgerton.
