A24 has released a new trailer for “Marty Supreme,” Josh Safdie’s sports dramedy starring Timothée Chalamet as table-tennis prodigy Marty Mauser.

Set in the 1950s, “Marty Supreme” follows Marty Mauser as he chases his dream of becoming a table-tennis champion. The film is a fictionalized account of the real-life Marty Reisman, who won five world championship medals in table tennis.

In addition to Chalamet, the cast includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Fran Drescher, Tyler Okonma (known professionally as Tyler, the Creator), Penn Jillette, Odessa A’zion, “Shark Tank” personality Kevin O’Leary (aka Mr. Wonderful) and Abel Ferrara.

Josh Safdie’s last feature film was 2019’s “Uncut Gems,” which he co-directed and co-wrote with his brother, Benny Safdie. “Marty Supreme” marks Josh Safdie’s first solo feature since his 2008 debut, “The Pleasure of Being Robbed.” He co-wrote “Marty Supreme” with Ronald Bronstein, and the film is produced by Safdie, Bronstein, Eli Bush, Anthony Katagas, Chalamet and A24.

In October, “Marty Supreme” received a standing ovation during a secret screening at the 63rd New York Film Festival, where Chalamet and Josh Safdie made a surprise appearance alongside Paltrow, Okonma, A’zion and co-writer Bronstein.

“This movie — in many ways, beyond being about Marty Mauser — is a love letter to New York,” Chalamet said on stage, adding that he was “so thrilled” to debut his latest film in the city.

“Marty Supreme” has since garnered Oscar buzz, with Variety‘s chief awards editor Clayton Davis writing in an analysis, “In a season where four films are tracking with 10 or more predicted nominations, A24’s ‘Marty Supreme’ has just landed — and it’s looking like the spoiler very few saw coming. Much like its protagonist, played by Timothée Chalamet — a young man with a dream no one respects, who goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness — the film could be the dark horse the Oscar race didn’t realize it needed.”

“Marty Supreme” opens in theaters on Dec. 25. Watch the new trailer below.’
