John Boyega, Jamie Foxx and Teyonah Parris are teaming up as an unlikely trio that stumbles across a shocking conspiracy in “They Cloned Tyrone,” a genre-jumping sci-fi mystery directed by “Creed II” screenwriter Juel Taylor in his feature debut which got its first trailer as part of Netflix’s Tudum showcase.

Boyega plays Fontaine, a neighborhood drug dealer who somehow survives being shot by his rival without a scratch on him. Alongside Yo-Yo (Parris) and local pimp Slick Charles (Foxx), Fontaine discovers that his neighborhood is being surveilled and experimented on by a mysterious organization that is trying to clone the Black population.

Dark as that subject matter might be — and reminiscent of real-life racist experiments such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study — the trailer promises plenty of humor, including Slick Charles and Yo-Yo having a soulful duet with their guns as microphones before they break into one of the cloning labs. Another clip shows Yo-Yo trying to go undercover, only for someone to immediately recognize her.

“They Cloned Tyrone” also stars Kiefer Sutherland and J. Alphonse Nicholson, with Taylor writing the screenplay alongside Tony Rettenmaier. Taylor, Rettenmaier and Foxx are producers alongside Charles D. King, Stephen Love and Kim Roth.

A release date for “They Cloned Tyrone” has not yet been announced, but you can watch the first trailer in the clip above.

Toyota's scandal-hit Daihatsu aims to resume vehicle development this year
Scandal-hit Toyota Motor subsidiary Daihatsu aims to fully resume developing vehicles by as early as the end of this year, the president of the compact carmaker told reporters, adding that he saw opportunities in South America and Africa. Daihatsu last year said it had rigged safety tests for some 88,000 small cars, most of them sold under the Toyota brand, with the scandal posing a reputational risk for Japan's largest automaker. New President Masahiro Inoue was dispatched from Toyota to turn Daihatsu around and put it on a path to growth.

Arrests follow barricades and encampments as college students nationwide protest Gaza war
Standoffs between pro-Palestinian student protesters and universities grew increasingly tense on both coasts Wednesday as hundreds encamped at Columbia University faced a deadline from the administration to clear out while dozens remained barricaded inside two buildings on a Northern California college campus. Both are part of intensifying demonstrations over Israel's war with Hamas by university students across the country, leading to dozens of arrests on charges of trespassing or disorderly conduct. Columbia's President Minouche Shafik in a statement Wednesday set a midnight deadline to reach an agreement with students to clear the encampment, or “we will consider alternative options.”

FOREX-Dollar suffers PMI hangover, Aussie jumps on inflation surprise
The dollar nursed its wounds on Wednesday following big tumbles against the euro and sterling, but the yen remained mired near 34-year lows even as Japanese officials stepped up intervention warnings. The Australian dollar made the most of a weakened greenback as it rallied on the back of hotter-than-expected local consumer price data, leading markets to abandon hopes for any rate cuts from the Reserve Bank of Australia in the near-term. "The Australian dollar has benefited from a re-evaluation of the RBA's monetary policy path, but geopolitical risks remain."

Australian police execute search warrants as part of a 'major operation' over church stabbings
Detectives and secret service agents investigating the stabbing of a bishop in a Sydney church executed search warrants in the city on Wednesday as part of a major operation, officials said. The Joint Counter-Terrorism Team, which incorporates federal and state police as well as the Australian Security Intelligence Organization, the nation’s main domestic spy agency, said in a statement there is no current threat to public safety. Australian Federal Police Commissioner Reece Kershaw said the operation was related to a knife attack in a Sydney church on April 15 in which an Assyrian Orthodox bishop and priest were injured.
