Netflix announced that They Cloned Tyrone is coming to the streamer this July. Starring John Boyega, Teyonah Parris, and Jamie Foxx, They Cloned Tyrone is Juel Taylor's directorial feature debut.

Mixing sci-fi with 70s pulp fiction, They Cloned Tyrone follows a trio of unlikely protagonists who accidentally uncover secret government experiments involving cloning. While Netflix has kept the lid shut on the project, the first trailer revealed the movie wouldn’t be your average mystery story. In fact, everything about They Clone Tyrone promises a trippy journey infused with social commentary. That’s because not only the trio of protagonists is all Black, but it seems like the government conspiracy they are dismantling involves the cloning of Black people.

While the theme behind They Clone Tyrone is serious, the trailer and images tease this action flick doubles down on the comedy. From hairstyles to clothing, it feels like Taylor’s first feature uses a stereotypical version of the 70s to genre-bend audience expectations. And the fact most of the trailer is just the trio of protagonists singing in an elevator tells us everyone is along for a weirdly delicious blast from the past.
