Timothée Chalamet, of the Dune franchise fame, is on the brink of producing and starring in Marty Supreme, a new film by Josh Safdie for A24. Despite keeping plot details secret, the movie is said to draw inspiration from the life of iconic table tennis player Marty Reisman. Safdie, along with Ronald Bronstein, has written the script for Marty Supreme, with production to be handled by Eli Bush, Anthony Katagas, and A24. Safdie, who previously collaborated with A24 on films like Uncut Gems and Good Time, is now venturing into solo directing with Marty Supreme. Reisman, known for his unique playing style and contributions to table tennis, was a legend in the sport.
