Jamie Foxx and Teyonah Parris have joined John Boyega in the sci-fi mystery `They Cloned Tyrone` for Netflix and Macro.

`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.
