Timothée Chalamet is set to star in and produce "Marty Supreme", an original movie from Josh Safdie and A24.

Plot details are under wraps, but the movie is said to be a fictionalized original work.

Safdie is set to helm the film from a script he co-wrote with Ronald Bronstein. Producers include Safdie, Chalamet, Bronstein, Eli Bush and Anthony Katagas.

The "Wonka" and "Dune" star Timothée Chalamet will play Marty Reisman, a professional ping pong player who started playing table tennis at age 12.

Initially a hustler for prize money in Manhattan, Reisman went on to win a number of different ping pong titles at World Table Tennis Championship events.

A legendary American table tennis player known for his flamboyant style and exceptional skill, Reisman started playing at a young age and quickly rose to become one of the most iconic figures in the sport, winning multiple national and international titles. Known for his unique and unorthodox playing style, which included a strong emphasis on spin and a distinctive forehand and backhand technique, he was a master of deception and could manipulate the ball in ways that confused his opponents.

In addition to his playing career, Reisman was also a promoter and ambassador for the sport. His contributions to table tennis extended beyond his competitive achievements, as he played a significant role in popularizing table tennis in the United States.
