Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon 2014
Set in the Nixon era, 'They Cloned Tyrone' follows John Boyega as Fontaine, a neighborhood drug dealer who finds himself in a fatal battle. When he wakes up the next day perfectly fine, he has questions. The all-star cast includes Jamie Foxx as Slick Charles, a well-dressed and self-proclaimed detective, alongside Teyonah Parris as the fierce and vibrant Yo-Yo. They complete the trio who discover a truth about Fontaine that deals with cloning humans. Director Juel Taylor, who co-wrote 'Creed II' and 'Space Jam: A New Legacy,' makes his feature-film debut with this highly-anticipated conspiracy thriller. The film debuts at the 2023 American Black Film Festival in June and will stream worldwide on Netflix in July.
