This December, moviegoers are in for a treat: Marty Supreme, the new movie starring Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet, will hit theaters just in time for the holidays.

Marty Supreme's Plot
Inspired by the life of real ping-pong legend Marty Reisman, Marty Supreme tells a fictional story set in 1950s New York City.
The movie follows Marty Mauser (played by Timothée Chalamet), a young salesman working in his uncle’s modest shoe store. But beneath the surface, Marty dreams of fame and recognition, as he wants to become a professional ping-pong player.
