Timothée Chalamet returns to the big screen with Marty Supreme post Oscars snub; everything to know
After his 2024 Oscar snub for A Complete Unknown, where Timothée Chalamet earned his second Best Actor nomination for his turn as Bob Dylan (the first was in 2018 for Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name) — the actor is finally back on screen, and fans couldn't be happier. Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme A24 has just dropped the first trailer for Marty Supreme, Josh Safdie's 1950s-set sports dramedy that sees Chalamet swap guitar strings for ping pong paddles. The film follows Marty Mauser, a gifted but underestimated table tennis player determined to earn the respect he deserves. But this isn't just a sports flick — it's packed with scandal, glamour, and chaos, as Marty embarks on an affair with a silver screen siren (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) while navigating the cutthroat world of competitive ping pong. The all-star cast is as unexpected as the plot: Fran Drescher as Marty's mother, rapper Tyler, the Creator, magician Penn Jillette, Odessa A'zion, Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary, and filmmaker Abel Ferrara all make appearances. Safdie, known for the anxiety-inducing brilliance of Uncut Gems, hasn't directed a solo feature in over a decade — so expectations are high. Chalamet even trained extensively to get his paddle skills on point. Cinematographer Darius Khondji revealed earlier this year that the actor 'wanted to be like a real [professional] ping pong player when he started shooting.' And the internet? They've already declared this a win. 'Shout out to Timmy for finding the only sport where could conceivably play a pro athlete,' joked one YouTube user. 'Yeah at this point i'm more than comfortable and confident in saying that timothée chalamet is the most exciting actor working today,' declared another. 'This looks good, but I had to go back during the casting to notice Tyler The Creator is part of the cast,' wrote one surprised fan. 'I didn't think a ping pong movie could look this intense but here we are,' said another. 'Was wondering if we'd ever get a Timothee chalamèt movie this year,' added one. And perhaps the most poetic of all: 'This trailer just served me life lessons via ping pong.' If the trailer is anything to go by, Marty Supreme is shaping up to be the kind of unexpected, slightly chaotic, and completely charming ride that only Timothée Chalamet — and a paddle — could deliver.

Have Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet actually broken up? The evidence so far
Rumours are circulating that it could be splitsville for Hollywood's favourite low-key couple, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, and she's not done much to silence those rumours. The Kylie Cosmetics founder, 27, has been dating the A Complete Unknown actor, 29, for around two years, but they have made sure to keep their relationship firmly behind closed doors aside from the odd high-profile public appearance. But it seems things might have taken a turn for the lovebirds. When asked by paparazzi this week if she was enjoying the single life, Kylie replied: 'Yes, yes.' But was this confirmation that the couple had split? Here we take a look at the evidence… Kylie was leaving a restaurant with her pal Hailey Bieber and had her sunnies on to avoid the flashing cameras of the paps. While the audio did sound like she said 'yes, yes', it's entirely possible that she didn't hear the question, and some fans have suggested she was a little bit squiffy and just saying anything to the paps. Fans online have been divided by the video. 'I doubt Kylie would confirm her break-up like this 🤷🏽♀️,' said Wonderful-Flow36 on Reddit. 'Ehhhhhh, I'm gonna need Timmy slobbering down another girl before I believe this,' added AntoClimatic. Beak-up rumours have been circulating for the past couple of weeks, since Kylie posted a selection of sad songs on her social media. On August 9, Kylie shared a playlist that included emotional tracks such as Jeff Buckley's Lover, You Should've Come Over. She also posted a screenshot of herself listening to the break-up song Crying Laughing Loving Lying by Labi Siffre. Meanwhile, her boyfriend was also noticeably absent from Kylie's 28th birthday celebrations last weekend, where she enjoyed a paint and sip event and cake with friends and family. 'Best birthday ever!!!!!!! I'm so grateful to my family and friends for making this weekend so special and full of love. 28 feels so good!!!!!' she wrote in the caption while sharing a carousel of colourful pictures on Instagram, marking the occasion. The duo also haven't been seen together in some time, with Timothée filming for Dune: Part Three, which is currently in production. Kylie appeared the supportive partner and liked Timothée's Instagram post on August 12 about his upcoming ping-pong movie Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie and which he stars in alongside Gwyneth Paltrow. This signalled to many fans that the break-up rumours were in fact just that, rumours. On Friday a source also insisted that the couple is still together but simply navigating busy schedules. 'They haven't seen each other for a few weeks only because Timothée's been filming Dune in a studio in Budapest, and Kylie's been working too,' the source told People magazine, adding that she had 'visited him in July'. 'But even though Kylie has a private jet, the flight is still 12 hours. She's a mum and she works as well. She has a lot of responsibilities in LA. Timothée's schedule is grueling, with very little downtime,' they continued. Kylie shares daughter Stormi, seven, and three-year-old son Aire with ex, rapper Travis Scott. The source said that the couple were 'making it work though' and 'FaceTime most days'. 'They miss each other and are totally fine.' It's expected that the Oscar-nominated actor's travels will continue as he heads off to Jordan and Abu Dhabi for the next batch of filming on the sequel, helmed by new James Bond director Denis Villeneuve. The couple has kept their relationship under wraps, but this year they have become more public with their romance, appearing at the Golden Globes and other award shows together. The lovebirds were also spotted cheering on the Knicks together in May, which led to Kylie reposting a very relevant Sex and the City clip about basketball on TikTok. In the video, originally uploaded by the official HBO Max account, a baffled Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) questioned why her best friend Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) had forced them to sit through an NBA game on TV. More Trending Without skipping a beat, Sam simply replied: 'Don is obsessed. I don't get laid unless the Knicks win.' An undeniably hilarious move from Miss Jenner.

Review: ‘East of Wall' a lyrical ode to the real cowgirls of the new West
Filmmaker Kate Beecroft points her lens toward the real cowgirls of the Badlands in the lyrical new film 'East of Wall.' The film, which won an audience award earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, blends fact and fiction to tell a story about the working women of South Dakota, skilled riders and trainers with ranching and rodeo in their blood who also can't seem to catch a break. There are a few Hollywood actors in the mix, including Jennifer Ehle ('King's Speech') as a hard living grandmother with a lifetime of regrets as well as some nuggets of wisdom and Scoot McNairy (' A Complete Unknown ') as an out-of-towner who wants to acquire the land, but most of the cast are non-actors playing themselves. At the heart of 'East of Wall,' now playing in select theaters, is Tabatha Zimiga, a South Dakota native whose ability to tame wild horses is the stuff of legend in the area. In the film, the horses she rescues and rehabilitates are sold at auctions and often accepted for far less than what they're worth. She needs the money. There are bills to pay on the ranch and many mouths to feed (not just her own children, but others from around the town who come to her for safety and shelter when their own caretakers stop providing). Tabatha is also living with new and old traumas, from the generational agony of abuse to the more recent death of her husband, the shocking circumstances of which are withheld for some time. But the effects of the loss are still felt, especially for their daughter Porshia (played by her real-life daughter Porshia Zimiga), whose grief is threatening to turn into hate of her mother. Teenage Porshia provides the poetic voiceovers, in which she talks about riding, her mother and, most effectively, the land. It's reminiscent of Linda Manz's narration in 'Days of Heaven' (1978). 'East of Wall' is best when it's capturing the landscapes and the girls in action, riding and filming energetic TikToks of their friends racing cars on horseback. Some have suggested that 'East of Wall' might have been stronger as a documentary. These women are vibrant and authentic and don't look like anyone we see in the movies these days, with real bodies and imperfect skin, heads half-shaved, tattoos everywhere and the ability to really, really ride — no stunt team required. And they have stories to tell, many of them unhappy, as we see in one of the most moving non-action scenes involving a group of mothers speaking candidly about their lives and their regrets. The real-life drama of financial instability is compelling and likely rooted in truth; however, the introduction of McNairy's suspect Texan feels like a narrative contrivance and drama for drama's sake. He offers to buy the ranch and let them live and work as usual, just for him now instead of themselves. These are the kind of scenes that remind you that the filmmakers, despite all their best intentions and care, are, in essence, also interlopers in this world. Beecroft's story of how she stumbled upon Tabatha and her cowgirls sounds like something out of a folk song. A native of Los Angeles who'd worked as an actress and production designer, Beecroft felt stalled and hopped in a truck with her friend and cinematographer Austin Shelton to find the stories of everyday Americans. A wrong turn, she said, led her to these women.

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
