A24 released the official trailer for Marty Supreme on Tuesday, introducing audiences to the new drama starring Timothée Chalamet. The film follows the journey of Marty Supreme, a hustler and table tennis prodigy, as he works to rise to the top.
Timothée Chalamet Stars as the Ambitious Marty Supreme
In his first solo lead role for co-writer and director Josh Safdie, Chalamet portrays Marty Supreme, who
goes to hell and back in his pursuit of greatness.
Marty’s mission includes earning enough to support his mother, pursuing relationships with two women, and achieving fame by appearing on a Wheaties box thanks to his ping-pong talents.
Creative Team and Production Details
Josh Safdie collaborated with Ronald Bronstein to co-write the screenplay. This project follows closely after Josh’s brother Benny Safdie released his first solo film, The Smashing Machine. For Marty Supreme, Josh Safdie reunited with Darius Khondji, the cinematographer behind Uncut Gems, resulting in striking visuals.
The film debuted at the New York Film Festival to enthusiastic acclaim. With a budget estimated between $60 million and $70 million, it represents A24’s most significant investment to date. Chalamet has initiated a tailored marketing campaign reminiscent of his Oscar-nominated social media efforts for last year’s A Complete Unknown.
Upcoming Appearances and Supporting Cast
While Chalamet continues filming Dune 3, set for release next year, Marty Supreme marks his eagerly awaited collaboration with Josh Safdie, whose work in Uncut Gems Chalamet has praised. The film also features Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher.
Release Date and Expectations
Marty Supreme is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 25. With its festival buzz, esteemed creative team, and Chalamet’s rising profile, the film is positioned to be a notable contender in the upcoming awards season.
