A24 released the new official trailer for their upcoming drama “Marty Supreme” starring Timothée Chalamet as the titular Marty Supreme.
Director Josh Safide co-wrote the film with Ronald Bronstein, which also stars Gwyneth Paltrow as Kay Stone, Odessa A’zion as Rachel, Kevin O’Leary as Milton Rockwell, Tyler Okonma aka Tyler the Creator as Wally, Abel Ferrara as Ezra, and Fran Drescher as Mrs. Mauser.
The video introduces Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a table tennis player who’s very determined to fulfill his dreams of making it big in the world of sports. His character is loosely inspired by Marty Reisman, who was a champion table tennis player who started as a hustler in New York City playing for bets and prize money.
Marty (Chalamet) is described as a hustler and table tennis star who “goes to hell and back in his pursuit of greatness.” That pursuit involves making enough money to care for his mother, wooing a couple of women and getting on the cover of a Wheaties box for his ping-pong skills.
“Marty Supreme” premiered at the New York Film Festival to critical acclaim, and is set for theatrical release on Dec. 25; see the trailer: HERE.
