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.
