One of the standout elements in the new sci-fi comedy “They Cloned Tyrone” on Netflix is the mesmerizing performance by British actor John Boyega. Boyega, known internationally for his role as Finn in the recent “Star Wars” trilogy, surprises viewers with his deadpan portrayal of the lead character Fontaine. This compelling performance led Netflix to feature Fontaine in promotional activities alongside Boyega.
In a captivating video, Boyega is seen in conversation with his onscreen counterpart, delving into multiple layers of meta. The first layer explores the movie’s theme, where Boyega’s character is cloned and embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind it. The deeper layer involves Boyega the actor and Fontaine the character confronting each other, raising existential questions and delving into philosophical musings.
The video highlights the stark contrast between Boyega and Fontaine’s personalities on and off the camera. While Boyega is composed and epitomizes British elegance, even requesting a tea break, Fontaine exhibits impatience and disdain towards his upper-class persona. Interestingly, Fontaine confesses to never having watched “Star Wars,” not even a trailer, adding to the confusion as they question what is real, who is playing whom, and the underlying meaning of the video.
To add to the intrigue, a captivating image captures the attention, depicting Teyonah Parris, Jamie Foxx, and John Boyega seated at a diner, further piquing curiosity about their roles and interactions in the movie.
In addition to Boyega’s performance, he acknowledges the talent of his co-stars Jamie Foxx and Teyonah Parris. While Fontaine remains uninterested in their presence, he recognizes Foxx’s prowess, as the Academy Award-winning actor received dual acting nominations at the Oscars in the same year.
“They Cloned Tyrone” is directed by Juel Taylor, marking his feature film directorial debut after having previously directed short films and TV projects. Taylor collaborated with Tony Rettenmaier, known for his work on “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” in co-writing the screenplay. This Netflix movie stands out for its ability to revitalize blaxploitation cinema with a fresh and improved perspective.
