Background and development

[edit]

In December 2023, Timothée Chalamet stated in an interview that his next project was a ping-pong related film.[2] In July 2024, Variety confirmed the project was Marty Supreme, to be directed by Josh Safdie, his first solo project since The Pleasure of Being Robbed in 2008.[3] Safdie wrote the script with Ronald Bronstein, based on professional table tennis player Marty Reisman, though "sources close to the production" called the story "a fictionalized original, rather than a biopic".[4]

According to Deadline Hollywood, the budget is $70 million, surpassing Civil War (2024) as A24's most expensive film.[5]

Filming

[edit]

Principal photography began in New York City on September 23, 2024, according to On Location Vacations, with set photos of Chalamet released the following week.[6][7] Production wrapped on December 5, 2024.[8] Additional filming took place in Japan in February, 2025.[9] Darius Khondji shot the project on 35mm film.[10] Veteran production designer Jack Fisk worked on the project.[5]

Chalamet said that Safdie encouraged him to do some of his own stunts in the movie.[11] The director wanted Chalamet's eyes to look smaller, so he made him wear prescription glasses with contact lenses underneath, which he said "fucked up" his vision temporarily.[12] For the ping-pong scenes Chalamet trained for months and was coached by former players Diego Schaaf and Wei Wang.[13][14] Cinematographer Khondji said the film featured around 140 non-actors, including French highwire artist Philippe Petit.[14]

Release

[edit]

The film is scheduled to be released in the United States on December 25, 2025.[15] Nordisk Film will handle its distribution in Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden.[16]
