“They Cloned Tyrone” is the newest movie starring Jamie Foxx. It’s a social commentary on the Black group and the way its members are so simply affected by shopper items—and people shopper items being tainted with mind-controlling substances.

The movie follows a sequence of eerie occasions that thrusts an unlikely trio (John Boyega, Teyonah Parris and Jamie Foxx) onto the path of a nefarious authorities conspiracy on this pulpy thriller caper. The movie was launched on Netflix on July 21.

However first I’ll communicate on Foxx’s well being report, as voiced by the person himself in a video posted to his Instagram account over the weekend. Should you’re unaware again in April, Foxx’s daughter Corinne introduced by social media that he had “skilled a medical complication” and was rushed to the hospital.

In subsequent months, little or no was reported about his situation, and social media followers or non-fans began speculating about Foxx’s situation—even to the purpose of him struggling a stroke or being deceased.

ABC7 Information reported at one level that it was believed that Foxx was in a rehab facility in Chicago. I surmised that it was the Shirley Ryan Capacity Lab, as a result of from private expertise, I do know that it’s the greatest bodily rehab facility within the nation—located proper in downtown Chicago.

Images a couple of weeks later appeared to point out his daughter and others in Chicago throughout that point. Just lately Foxx was proven on a ship touring previous the ICON movie show within the South Loop, and he was photographed, as effectively, at a sporting venue in Naperville.

On July 22, Foxx launched a video wherein he partially credited his sister Deidra Dixon and his daughter, in addition to “numerous nice medical individuals,” with “saving (his) life.”

He continued: “I went by one thing that I believed I might by no means, ever undergo. I do know lots of people had been ready, , wanting to listen to updates, however to be trustworthy with you, I simply didn’t need you to see me … with tubes working out of me and attempting to determine if I used to be going to make it by.”

Foxx debunked rumors about his well being that had been swirling round with posts from individuals who felt they had been entitled to find out about his situation. It appears that evidently Black Twitter hasn’t discovered something from after they criticized the late Chadwick Boseman’s look, solely to study later that he was coping with colon most cancers, to which he succumbed in August, 2020.

“By being quiet, typically issues get out of hand. … Some individuals mentioned I used to be blind, however as you possibly can see the eyes are working, the eyes are working simply superb. Mentioned I used to be paralyzed, I’m not paralyzed, however I did undergo – I went to hell and again,” Foxx mentioned, including that his “highway to restoration had some potholes as effectively.”

“However I’m coming again, and I’m capable of work, so I wish to thank individuals who let me work,” Foxx added, as his eyes swelled up with tears. “And I simply wish to say that I like everyone, and I like all of the love that I bought.”

He even did a humorous cross-eyed trick together with his eyes mimicking his character Wanda, as proven within the sequence “In Dwelling Shade.” I suppose given the title of his newest movie, this eye motion re-assured his many followers that it was actually him—and he wasn’t a clone.

“They didn’t clone me, however THEY CLONED TYRONE. See you July 21, solely on @netflix.,” Foxx tweeted on July 12.

Actor IceT tweeted on July 23: “Folks would slightly imagine that Jamie is now a Clone or AI, than the person was simply significantly sick and rattling close to died… Trigger he doesn’t look EXACTLY the identical??? YOU look completely different after a nasty chilly! Smh weirdos..”

The movie unveils a conspiracy that Foxx, as a pimp named Slick Charles, and his co-stars, Parris, as a prostitute named Yo-Yo, and Boyega, as a drug seller named Fontaine, are dedicated to proving and exposing.

Fontaine has been gunned down and murdered within the streets—as evidenced by not less than six bullet holes, however he exhibits again up within the ‘hood. However on the time, no one is aware of that he’s a clone.

A scene within the fried hen restaurant supplies the primary clue to a conspiracy—in that the Black patrons all begin laughing hysterically. Then there’s the perm used within the magnificence salon and the “grape drink” used as communion wine in church. In each of those latter places, group members appear to all mimic each other—particularly within the church, the place they’re all overcome with the spirit in funky unison.

The trio uncover the conspiracy and the so-called clones which can be being let again into the group in an effort to regulate the minds of individuals in mysterious methods.

The movie speaks to saving the group from the dangerous guys, in that Yo-Yo, Slick Charles and Fontaine are relentless in taking down the infiltrators and destroying their laboratory.

As we all know, they’ve been scandals and conspiracies dealing with the Black group all through historical past. So, it’s not far fetched that utilizing perm, consuming grape drink or consuming fried hen, that are every day habits throughout the group, may very well be the idea for thoughts management. This movie can be a cautionary story that somebody is at all times watching or probing—be it through social media accounts or cellular phone knowledge that could be collected for quite a lot of causes, with out the person’s consent.

With the music, the automobiles and the costumes in “They Cloned Tyrone,” this movie is a spectacle to take pleasure in. Foxx’s one-liners are golden, as is the chemistry between himself, Parris and Boyega. It has a complete 80s vibe to it, with a soundtrack backed up with some songs from the interval.

“They Cloned Tyrone” additionally stars David Alan Grier, Brian Tyree Henry, Keifer Sutherland and J. Alphonse Nicholson and is the directorial debut of Juel Taylor, the author behind Creed II. It’s co-written by Taylor and Tony Rettenmaier, with Foxx named as producer.

It’s price a viewing or two, when you possibly can return and catch all of the loopy dialogue.
