Marty Supreme, an upcoming American sports adventure comedy-drama film, takes its cues from the life and career of the professional table tennis player Marty Reisman.

The film, produced and directed by Josh Safdie, who co-wrote it with Ronald Bronstein, will also blend fictional elements into its narrative.

The movie, co-produced by Timothée Chalamet, will be a period drama of sorts, set – partly at least – in 1940s America.

Reisman, who was an American table tennis champion, won the US Men’s singles championship in 1958 and 1960.

In 1997, the player became a US hardball champion. He was the oldest player to win such a title.

Josh Safdie and Ronald Bronstein has written the film.

Actor Timothée Chalamet and Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, the movie’s main star, play love interests in Marty Supreme.

In an interview, Gwyneth Paltrow said for her sex scenes with Timothée Chalamet, she felt ‘stifled’ by an intimacy coordinator.

Although intimacy coordinators have become common in Hollywood movie productions, Paltrow has chosen a less hands-on approach on the set of her and Timothée in Marty Supreme.

Paltrow makes her return to acting in Marty Supreme. Her last on-screen role was in the two-season Netflix series “The Politician” in 2019-2020.

In the film, Paltrow plays a woman married to Ping-Pong mafia.

The movie hits theatres on December 25.

According to reports, Chalamet improved his ping-pong skills under the instruction of former players Diego Schaaf and Wei Wang.
