Timothée Chalamet is set to star in Marty Supreme, a new film directed by Josh Safdie, co-written with Ronald Bronstein. Inspired by the life of professional table tennis legend Marty Reisman, the film will explore a fictionalized version of Reisman’s story rather than a traditional biopic, according to sources close to the production.
Chalamet, who rose to international stardom with his breakout role in Call Me by Your Name (2017), continues to build on his impressive career. His performance in Call Me by Your Name earned him an Academy Award nomination at just 22 years old, making him one of the youngest nominees in the Best Actor category. His portrayal of Elio’s emotional complexity and vulnerability captivated audiences and critics alike, catapulting him into Hollywood’s A-list.
The film boasts appearances from Gwyneth Paltrow, rapper and creative force Tyler, the Creator, rising star Odessa A’zion, magician Penn Jillette, Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary, and filmmaker Abel Ferrara. The combination of such diverse talents promises an intriguing cinematic experience.
Production for Marty Supreme kicked off in September 2024, with filming taking place across various iconic New York City locations. Filming for Marty Supreme has transformed various New York City neighborhoods into authentic recreations of the 1950s, immersing onlookers in a bygone era. Streets are lined with vintage cars, storefronts sport retro signage, and extras are dressed in period-appropriate fashion, complete with fedoras, swing dresses, and leather jackets. The filmmakers have meticulously redesigned local architecture to reflect mid-century charm, with iconic city blocks becoming time capsules that capture the essence of 1950s New York. This attention to detail not only transports viewers but also transforms familiar urban landscapes into nostalgic cinematic settings.
While the plot remains under wraps, fans are eagerly anticipating Chalamet's portrayal and the creative vision Safdie and Bronstein bring to the project. Known for their gritty and character-driven narratives in films like Uncut Gems, this partnership suggests Marty Supreme will be another dynamic and captivating addition to the directors' impressive body of work.
As production continues, New Yorkers may just catch a glimpse of this all-star cast in action, adding a dose of Hollywood glamour to the city streets.
