Marty Supreme marks Josh Safdie's first solo directorial venture since O Prazer de Ser Roubado (2008) and the first narrative film he had written and directed without his brother and long-time creative partner Benny Safdie, as the brothers ended their partnership after the release of Joias Brutas (2019) to explore solo careers.
'Marty Supreme' is loosely based on the life of table tennis champion/hustler/entertainer/entrepreneur Marty Reisman (1930 - 2012.)
This will be Tyler, the Creator's film debut.
Gwyneth Paltrow told Vanity Fair that when she met Timothée Chalamet, who she was going to film several sex scenes with, she joked, "Okay, great. I'm 109 years old. You're 14."
Segments were filmed on the beach and near boardwalk of Rye Playland in NY.
