A24 has released a new trailer for “Marty Supreme,” the new sports comedy-drama that’s generating a lot of awards season buzz for its star, Timothée Chalamet. The film is directed by Josh Safdie who works from a screenplay he co-wrote with Ronald Bronstein. Their story is loosely based on the life of American table tennis star Marty Reisman. Chalamet is joined by a fantastic supporting cast including Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Tyler Okonma, Fran Drescher, Abel Ferrara, Penn Jillette and Sandra Bernhard. A24’s latest trailer gives us a broader look at what could be a surprise end-of-year hit.
Set in the 1950s, Chalamet plays Marty Mauser, a very ambitious young New Yorker who dreams of becoming a ping-pong champion. No one believes in him or his pursuit, which only inspires him to prove everyone wrong. He started modestly, hustling in bars on the Lower East Side. But while his obsession with being great catapults him to the top, it also leaves behind a series of victims who contribute to the film’s deeper drama. The film has gotten better with each new reveal, and this latest trailer is the best yet.
“Marty Supreme” hits theaters on Christmas Day. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll see it or grab a pass.
