\n\tA24<\/a> on Wednesday debuted the first trailer for Marty Supreme<\/a>, one of the year\u2019s great cinematic curiosities, teaming Oscar nominee Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a> (A Complete Unknown) with filmmaker Josh Safdie<\/a> (Uncut Gems).<\/p>\n

\n\tAn original work set in the world of 1950s ping pong culture, the film tells the story of Marty Mauser (Chalamet), a young man with a dream no one respects, who goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile never confirmed, sources have long indicated that the project draws loose inspiration from the story of pro ping pong player Marty Reisman. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe trailer opens on Chalamet standing on the bed in his royal hotel suite, phoning a movie star played by Gwyneth Paltrow to let him know that he\u2019s \u201csomething of a performer,\u201d as well.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a later scene, Marty tells his love interest, played by Odessa A\u2019zion, \u201cI have a purpose, and if you think that\u2019s some sort of blessing, it\u2019s not. It means I have an obligation to see a very specific thing through, and with that obligation comes sacrifice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLater still, in a scene with Kevin O\u2019Leary (of Shark Tank fame), Mauser says, \u201cI know it\u2019s hard to believe, but I\u2019m telling you, this game, it fills stadiums overseas. And it\u2019s only a matter of time before I\u2019m staring at you from the cover of a Wheaties box.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSlated for release in theaters on Christmas Day, Marty Supreme has quite the eclectic ensemble. Others appearing include musician Tyler, The Creator, magician Penn Jillette, Fran Drescher, Sandra Bernhard, and filmmaker Abel Ferrara, to name just a few. Safdie directed from a script written with Ronald Bronstein, with the pair producing alongside Eli Bush, Anthony Katagas, Chalamet and A24.<\/p>\n

\n\tA24 is next set to debut Spike Lee\u2019s Highest 2 Lowest, a reimagining of Akira Kurosawa\u2019s High and Low starring Denzel Washington, which is slated to hit theaters on August 15 and be made available on Apple TV+ on September 5 after premiering at the Cannes Film Festival. The studio\u2019s slate for the remainder of the year also includes an English-language dub of Chinese box office smash Ne Zha 2 (August 22), Dwayne Johnson starrer The Smashing Machine (October 3) from Marty helmer Josh\u2019s brother Benny Safdie, and the Rose Byrne-led festival darling If I Had Legs I\u2019d Kick You <\/a>(October 10).<\/p>\n
