MARTY SUPREME Trailer: Timothée Chalamet Turns Into a 1950s Ping Pong Champion

The article reports on a viral parody trailer for a fake movie titled Marty Supreme, starring Timothée Chalamet. Created by the comedy group Please Don't Destroy (from Saturday Night Live), the trailer is a pitch-perfect satire of the signature style of the film studio A24.

The "plot" of the fake movie centers on Chalamet as an intense, aspiring ping pong champion whose life and ambitions are upended by a mysterious new rival.

The article highlights how the trailer masterfully mimics A24's cinematic trademarks, including:

• Intense emotional drama over a seemingly low-stakes subject (ping pong).
• Moody cinematography, a somber indie soundtrack, and a narrow aspect ratio.
• Heavy themes of obsession, ambition, and fractured family relationships.

The piece notes that Chalamet is the ideal star for this parody due to his past work in actual A24 films like Lady Bird and Hot Summer Nights.

In conclusion, the article celebrates the trailer as a hilarious and incredibly accurate parody, observing that it's so well-made that many viewers (including the author) now genuinely wish Marty Supreme were a real film.
