Overview
- The new trailer underscores a high-stakes tone with gambling wins, bags of cash, gunfire, police pursuits and a cue of Tears for Fears’ Everybody Wants to Rule the World.
- The ensemble includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler Okonma (Tyler, The Creator), Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Fran Drescher, Abel Ferrara and Penn Jillette.
- Chalamet plays Marty Mauser in a fictional tale loosely inspired by ping-pong icon Marty Reisman, set within mid-century New York hustler culture.
- Josh Safdie directs solo and co-writes with Ronald Bronstein, reuniting with Uncut Gems collaborators Darius Khondji on cinematography and Daniel Lopatin on the score.
- Chalamet trained for years to convincingly play a table-tennis prodigy, and the film marks his third consecutive Christmas Day theatrical opening.
