A24’s Timothée Chalamet Ping-Pong Movie ‘Marty Supreme’ Will Be Its Joint-Biggest To Date & The Biggest-Budget New Project At AFM


A24's Marty Supreme is being mounted as a fast-paced, globetrotting adventure-comedy in the vein of Wolf of Wall Street and Catch Me If You Can.

The original screenplay written by Safdie and Ronald Bronstein is based loosely on Marty Reisman’s life, set in the world of 1950s ping-pong culture. Set against a politically tumultuous 1950s, the film is instead being envisioned as a fast-paced, globetrotting adventure-comedy in the vein of Wolf of Wall Street and Catch Me If You Can. Acclaimed DoP Darius Khondji, who recently shot Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17, is aboard, as is three-time Oscar nominated production designer Jack Fisk ( The Revenant), who is tasked with transforming New York City’s Lower East Side to the 1950s.
