Timothée Chalamet’s “Marty Supreme” Filmed in New Jersey – $12M Budget, Trailer, and Locations Revealed
Timothée Chalamet’s “Marty Supreme” Shoots in New Jersey on a $12 Million Budget; Trailer and Locations Are Now Available
Timothée Chalamet, who was nominated for an Oscar, is back with the highly anticipated period drama “Marty Supreme.” The story of a legendary table tennis winner inspired the movie. Chalamet, recognized for deep and varied roles, plays Marty Mauser. Marty Reisman, a 1940s American table tennis star, inspired the role.
According to “Uncut Gems” director Josh Safdie, table tennis was quite serious in the 1950s. Chalamet will star with Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow, Fran Drescher, magician Penn Jillette, and Grammy-winning songwriter Tyler, The Creator, who is making his film debut. The cast includes Sandra Bernhard, Abel Ferrara, Odessa A’zion, and Kevin O’Leary. Together, they make a great group of actors for the period drama.
Over $12 Million Was Spent in New Jersey
A lot of “Marty Supreme” was shot in New York, but $12 million was spent in five counties in New Jersey to make the movie. These counties are Bergen, Burlington, Passaic, Mercer, and Union. The New Jersey Economic Development Authority revealed that the production got a $4.2 million tax credit. This makes it one of the most important film investments the state has made this year.
Even though the filming in New Jersey was shorter than Chalamet’s last project, “A Complete Unknown,” which took place in 20 towns and cities and cost $80 million, it still left its mark on many famous places. The Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, a private home on Ellisdale Road in Chesterfield Township, Burlington County, 126 Market Street in Paterson, and the post office in Hopewell Borough were some of these places. It’s interesting that Chalamet shot both “A Complete Unknown” and “Marty Supreme” at Elizabeth’s Ritz Theatre, linking his two famous Jersey productions.
Trailer and Out Now
On Wednesday, A24 put out the first teaser trailer for the movie. It showed viewers how Chalamet would become Marty Mauser. The movie will come out around Christmas, which makes it quite likely that people will see it around the holidays and talk about it during awards season. “Marty Supreme” is already getting movie fans and critics interested because Safdie is directing it and Chalamet is growing more famous in Hollywood.
Marty Reisman Is the Man Behind the Story
The author is Marty Reisman.
Marty Reisman is a fascinating US Table Tennis Hall of Famer. Movie based on his life. Before his 2012 death, Reisman wrote “The Money Player: The Confessions of America’s Greatest Table Tennis Player and Hustler,” in 1974. Chalamet and Safdie bring his story of resilience, hustle, and accomplishment over suffering to life on screen.
Looking Ahead and the Effects
Fans can’t wait to see how Chalamet plays a famous athlete from the 1950s, and the people of New Jersey enjoy the economic and cultural benefits of having a big Hollywood production there. “Marty Supreme” shows how film productions help the state’s tourism and arts, from bringing in more business to bringing attention to historic sites. This builds New Jersey’s growing image as a film-friendly destination.
It is expected to cost $70 million to make “Marty Supreme,” which is one of A24’s biggest purchases to date. This holiday season, people should watch it because it combines historical stories with great acting and real-life scenes from the time period.
