The first trailer for Marty Supreme has finally landed
He got very close indeed with his transformative turn as a young Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown , but could 2026 finally be the year when Timothée Chalamet gets his Academy Award? Well, if we're going by the first trailer for Marty Supreme , a zippy new period drama about a professional ping pong player, directed by Good Time and Uncut Gems 's Josh Safdie and co-starring none other than Gwyneth Paltrow, it could definitely happen. Penned by the filmmaker and his frequent collaborator Ronald Bronstein, and co-produced by Chalamet and beloved indie label A24, this forthcoming release is loosely inspired by ping pong player Marty Reisman. Born in 1930s Manhattan, he began playing table tennis on the Lower East Side, competing for bets and prizes, before becoming the US men's singles champion. His memoir, The Money Player: The Confessions of America's Greatest Table Tennis Player and Hustler , was published in 1974. While major plot details remain under wraps, sources close to the production have confirmed that this account of Marty's rise will be a fictionalised original story, rather than a conventional biopic. With Safdie at the helm, you would, of course, expect nothing else. The log line simply reads: 'Marty Mauser, a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.' Alongside Chalamet and Paltrow—as a Hollywood movie star love interest, of course—expect to see the likes of Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Abel Ferrara, Fran Drescher, and Tyler, the Creator don their mid-century best, as we look ahead to a Christmas Day release. Let the (inevitably bizarre and brilliant) press tour commence. This article was first published on

Netflix just dropped an intense new thriller with a 'Fantastic Four' star that you shouldn't skip
Netflix has just welcomed its latest original movie, "Night Always Comes," a thriller that follows one woman (Vanessa Kirby) as she embarks on a dangerous, last resort mission to save her family home. It's an adaptation of Will Vlautin's 2021 novel, "The Night Always Comes", and sees "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" star swapping big-screen Marvel spectacle for an intense crime thriller set on the streets of Portland, Oregon. I had the chance to stream "Night Always Comes" in advance of its release, and had a couple of major takeaways. Thankfully, I liked what I saw. Vanessa Kirby (unsurprisingly) turns in a powerful performance, and if you're looking for a thriller prone to emotional beats, twists, and the odd outburst of violence, you'll be well-served here. Aside from liking what "Night Always Comes" has to offer, the other thing I couldn't stop thinking about here was another movie entirely, and why I think they'd make for one hell of a double feature. Here's a little more info about the new movie and my initial reaction to "Night Always Comes", which is now streaming on Netflix. Benjamin Caron's 'Night Always Comes' is a taut thriller about Lynette (Vanessa Kirby), an occasionally reckless woman locked in a race against time to gather enough cash to save her family home as she, her mother, and brother face eviction in a city they can no longer afford. We follow as Lynette desperately scrambles to gather together the necessary funds to secure the house across a single night that continues to spiral into ever-more-dangerous territory and watch as she confronts her own troubled past in the process. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In addition to Vanessa Kirby, 'Night Always Comes' stars Jennifer Zack Gottsagen, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Julia Fox, Eli Roth, Randall Park, Stephan James, Michael Kelly, and Sean Martini, among others. First off, I don't want this to come across as me trying to dunk on "Night Always Comes." It's a solid thriller and certainly stands head and shoulders above many of the streamer's other original releases from the year so far. The biggest boon is surely having Vanessa Kirby at the heart of the action. Kirby's Lynette carries the emotional weight of everything and the pressure of this changing society that's squeezing her (and others like her) out well. The reason I'm stressing this up front is that I don't want to put people off streaming "Night Always Comes" on Netflix. If you enjoy dark crime thrillers or troubled survival stories, this is a well-realized character study that deserves a spot on your watchlist. All I'm trying to say is this: throughout my viewing of "Night Always Comes," I couldn't stop thinking about how I wanted to pair it as a double feature with "Good Time," the Safdies' Robert Pattinson-led crime thriller. The setup for both gritty movies aligns — Lynette's trying to cobble together enough cash to secure her family home, while Pattinson's small-time criminal Connie is trying to pull money together to post bail for his brother after a botched smash and grab gig. As far as the overall tone and feel? They match up, both sketched with neon harshness and a sense of jittery momentum. It's in the characterization where these two movies differ. Lynette is a survivor, trying to escape her trauma and seek the security she both wants but doesn't necessarily think she deserves (as Caron put it to Tudum). Connie, by turn, is a manipulative, repulsive antihero, someone who continues to push toward his downfall (and drags those in his orbit along with him). But Pattinson's performance is similar, in that it's the best part about "Good Time." The "Night Always Comes" / "Good Time" double feature, therefore, becomes a comparison of two very different characters, and that of seeing how they both tackle their goal. It's a pairing of two gritty, absorbing movies that veer onto darker paths, and would make for gritty, thrilling viewing. So, if you sit down and stream "Night Always Comes" on Netflix, and you're on the hunt for your next watch, "Good Time" should be next in line; you can buy/rent it digitally, or stream it with a Cinemax subscription on Prime right now.

The new Timothée Chalamet movie trailer is about a sport no one respects
After appearing as music icon Bob Dylan last year, the next project from Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet is technically about sports. The 29-year-old actor impressed fans last year by proving his knowledge as a sports fan while appearing on ESPN's College GameDay. He correctly predicted upsets and genuinely seemed like a lot of fun joking around on set. During the exciting postseason run for the New York Knicks, he was also a fixture at Madison Square Garden, even sharing a fun moment with Karl-Anthony Towns. Hopefully, he got a second to pick Towns' brain about what it's like to be a wildly disrespected athlete, because that is exactly what Chalamet will portray in his next film. More: Timothée Chalamet was offered Stephen A. Smith mentorship for an ESPN career The first trailer for the upcoming A24 project Marty Supreme released on Wednesday and it looks wild. Here is what you need to know: "Marty Mauser, a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness." That dream, it seems, is to become a ping pong star so big that he will appear on the cover of Wheaties boxes. This is the first project from Josh Safdie (Good Time and Uncut Gems) in his solo directorial debut. Chalamet will lead in the first billing but Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary (from Shark Tank), and Tyler, The Creator (as Tyler Okonma) will co-star.

Timothee Chalamet attempts to charm Gwyneth Paltrow in Marty Supreme trailer
The Wonka actor, who said he was 'in pursuit of greatness' himself after a win at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards earlier this year, dons a moustache and glasses to play the ping pong player. At the start of the trailer he is seen on the phone, speaking to Paltrow's movie star character. 'I saw you in the lobby yesterday, well, I've never talked to an actual movie star, you know I'm something of a performer too,' he tells her. He then asks her to look at a copy of the Daily Mail and directs her to a picture of him alongside the caption 'the chosen one'. Across the two-minute trailer are clips of Marty getting out of an aeroplane, playing at ping-pong tournaments and throwing a bin during what looks to be a match. In another scene, he says: 'I have a purpose and if you think that's some sort of blessing, it's not. 'It means I have an obligation to see a very specific thing through and with that obligation comes sacrifice.' Elsewhere, US rapper Tyler, The Creator is seen driving in a car with Marty and pushing his forehead in another clip. Other supporting cast members include Fam star Odessa A'zion, Canadian TV personality Kevin O'Leary, US filmmaker Abel Ferrara, and Saturday Night Fever actress Fran Drescher. Filmmaker Safdie is known for directing Good Time (2017), with Robert Pattinson, as well as Uncut Gems (2019), starring Adam Sandler and Julia Fox. Hollywood actor Chalamet, 29, has starred in films including Call Me By Your Name (2017), Little Women (2019), and Dune (2021), and won the leading actor prize at the SAG Awards in February for his role playing Bob Dylan in the biopic A Complete Unknown. Marty Supreme will be released on Christmas Day 2025.
