“It’s only a matter of time before I’m staring at you from the cover of a Wheaties box,” the confident main character, played by Timothée Chalamet, says in the new trailer for Marty Supreme.
The line is telling, offering not only a taste of Marty’s personality but also of the era in which the latest film from writer-director Josh Safdie (Uncut Gems) is set: the 1950s in the world of competitive table tennis.
See the trailer below.
According to the official description, Chalamet’s Marty Mauser is “a young man with a dream no one respects, who goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.”
In that pursuit, he brags to Gwyneth Paltrow‘s movie-star character about being featured in the newspaper, plays a lot of Ping-Pong, romances another woman, makes a daring escape, and more comedy high jinks.
Paltrow, 52, has teased a bit about her role, telling Vanity Fair she plays “this woman who is married to someone who is in the Ping-Pong mafia.” She and 29-year-old Chalamet’s Marty “meet, and she’s had a pretty tough life, and I think he breathes life back into her, but it’s kind of transactional for them both.”
“We have a lot of sex in this movie,” she continued. “There’s a lot — a lot.”
Paparazzi snapped photos of the costars kissing on the film’s set last fall and set off a lot of internet chatter about the stars’ age difference — and Chalamet’s mustache.
