According to Variety (and also confirmed by an A24 tweet), Timothée is set to star in Josh Safdie’s ‘Mart Supreme’ about ping pong player Marty Reisman.
Timothée Chalamet is set to star in and produce “Marty Supreme,” an original movie from Josh Safdie and A24. Sources close to the film say “Marty Supreme” is a fictionalized story, while Variety hears the film is inspired by professional ping pong player Marty Reisman.
“Marty Supreme” is written by Safdie and Ronald Bronstein, who produce alongside Eli Bush and Anthony Katagas. The film reunites Safdie with producer A24, which distributed his last two features, “Uncut Gems” and “Good Time.”
A24 confirmed the news in a social media post, writing, “Josh Safdie’s MARTY SUPREME starring @RealChalamet. Coming soon.”
