Timothée Chalamet Turns 'Marty Supreme' Rollout Into 18-Minute Meta Zoom Skit

The actor posted a deadpan brainstorm that doubles as marketing for the A24 film ahead of its Dec. 25 release.

Overview

  • Chalamet uploaded an 18-minute video to his social accounts on Saturday that stages a mock meeting about how to promote Marty Supreme.
  • His most eye-catching pitch imagines a Marty Supreme blimp dropping branded ping-pong balls over Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw, which he and others acknowledge could pose safety issues; the festival is now slated for Nov. 22–23 after a weather delay.
  • Other exaggerated ideas include painting the Statue of Liberty and Eiffel Tower in Marty-orange, producing thousands of Wheaties boxes, and unveiling a deliberately crude blimp drawing.
  • Coverage notes it is unclear whether the Zoom participants are actual A24 marketing staff or performers, highlighting the campaign’s blur between real planning and parody.
  • The film, directed by Josh Safdie and loosely based on table-tennis figure Marty Reisman, stars Chalamet alongside Tyler Okonma, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion and Fran Drescher and opens Dec. 25.
