Tyler, The Creator will make his film debut with Timothée Chalamet thanks to ‘Marty Supreme’

The connection between the music scene and celluloid It can be very narrow. But tell it to figures like Barbra Streisand, Cher or Lady Gaga. A feedback produced in part thanks to how traditionally “complete” in artistic terms they have always been the american stars. Although the connection also transcends the participatory and even, in the field of the subgenre, cinema has been experiencing a trend in recent years to make musical biopics of the great legends of music. Now, the last connection between both arts has a clear component of alternative rap and, in general, urban music. Tyler, The Creator will make his film debut with Timothée Chalamet and his new biopic for A24, Marty Supreme.

The respected Grammy winner will participate in the second solo film of Josh Safdie. The older brother of the filmmaking duo will once again work with the independent label with which he has already signed masterpieces of the caliber of Good Time and diamonds in the rough. In these two, the director had faces as recognizable to the public as Robert Pattinson and Adam Sandler, but perhaps Safdie has never concentrated on figures as current and as rigorously fashionable as in the case of Marty Supreme. Thus, at the same time that Ben Safdie (his other cinematic half) rolls The Smash Machine With Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, Josh will bring together one of the most creative emerging artists on the music scene, the highest-grossing young actor of the moment and Gwyneth Paltrow who returns to the screen six years after her superheroic journey at Marvel. The addition of Tyler, The Creator offers to Marty Supreme the incentive of having a large group of fans eager to see chow it develops at an interpretive level your favorite artist.

On the other hand, it is not the first time that the first-born of the Safdies works with a superstar of that industry. In the aforementioned diamonds in the rough The Weeknd appeared playing himself (not leaving himself in a big place, by the way). An appearance that must have aroused some interest in the field of acting, since later his video clips would be greatly influenced by various genres and titles from the world of cinema, in addition to creating and starring in the ill-fated HBO series, The idol. Who knows if his participation in Marty Supreme It will lead the Californian rapper to delve even further into the seventh art.

What is ‘Marty Supreme’ about?

Plot details around Marty Supreme have been kept secret since the project was announced in mid-July. However, little by little data has been leaking and it is expected that in reality, this will be a biographical film inspired by the real life of Marty Reisman. A ping-pong champion who won 22 titles between 1946 and 2002after a very long career as a professional. Reisman made history by being the oldest player in winning an open national competition, when he took the trophy at the National Hardbat Championship in the United States.

The long-standing athlete died a decade after retiring professionally from table sports, but it does not seem that Marty Supreme It’s going to be a typical biopic, not even a story that spans so many years. Given Chalamet’s youth, the film will presumably be inspired by his early years as a player. The roles that both Paltrow and Tyler, The Creator will have are still unknown. Luckily it is something that we will know sooner rather than later, since the project is designed to release throughout 2025.
