`Creed 2` writer Juel Taylor is attached to direct from a screenplay he wrote with Tony Rettenmaier. The film is described as a pulpy caper, in which an unlikely trio - portrayed by Boyega, Foxx and Parris - investigates a series of eerie events. Brian Tyree Henry had been in talks last year for one of the roles.
Foxx and Datari Turner are producing `They Cloned Tyrone,` along with Macro founder and CEO Charles D. King, Stephen `Dr.` Love, Taylor, Rettenmaier and Kim Roth. Executive producers are Macro's Mark R. Wright and Jack Murray.
Parris broke out in 2014's `Dear White People` and stars alongside Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in the reboot of `Candyman,` directed by Nia DaCosta from a script by Jordan Peele. Universal is releasing the movie on Oct. 16. Parris will star as Monica Rambeau in Marvel Studios' `WandaVision` for Disney Plus.
