Pulpy Sci-fi Film “They Cloned Tyrone” Finally Gets a Release Date

Creed 2 writer, Juel Taylor’s directorial debut They Cloned Tyrone will hit Netflix in July at a global scale. Marco, the production company run by Charles D. King, and Poppy Hanks, is producing the film. Marco has a pronounced agenda of representing people of color in the fiml and television industry. They Cloned Tyrone is in perfect alignment with that motto.

Starring Jogn Byega (Star Wars Trilogy), Jamie Foxx, and Teyonah Parris, this film amalgamates themes of racial discrimination, unethical usage of AI, and the power struggles between the government and the people. Nevertheless, it doesn’t get too serious. It’s going to be a fun film, judging by the script. Yes, you can actually read the entire script of the film. But we don’t recommend that, of course, not before you have watched the film.

The official trailer for the film was released yesterday and it definitely packs a punch. You can check the trailer out here.
