With the summer movie season now in full swing, audiences are flocking into theaters to see the latest blockbusters on the big screen. However, Netflix is also set to debut some notable projects on its streaming service this summer, including They Cloned Tyrone, which is set to debut in June. In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, actor John Boyega, who stars in the film, revealed details on inspirations the upcoming film drew from.
"Blaxploitation films always represented movies that let us express ourselves, and we could just look snazzy and do cool s---. It didn't matter if we knew kung fu. It just all made sense with the music, with the vibes. I'm just proud to at least be a part of something that pays homage to that," he said. "I loved the concept," Boyega said. Additionally, the actor also revealed that the film will still stand out from other movies as well.
