See Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow in 'Marty Supreme' teaser trailer
Timothée Chalamet is a pingpong prodigy in the official teaser trailer for "Marty Supreme."
A24 released the teaser trailer for the upcoming movie on Wednesday.
Chalamet plays Marty Mauser, "a young man with a dream no one respects," who "goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness," according to the film's official logline.
The trailer begins with Marty trying his best to woo a famous movie star, played by Gwyneth Paltrow. He calls her up on his hotel's phone and says he saw her in the lobby of the building the day before.
"I've never talked to an actual movie star. You know, I'm something of a performer too," Marty says to Paltrow's character.
"Are you?" she asks.
The trailer also shows Marty pursuing his table tennis career and attempting to become the best in the business.
"I have a purpose. And if you think that's some sort of blessing, it's not. It means I have an obligation to see a very specific thing through," Marty says.
Josh Safdie directed the film from a script he wrote with Ronald Bronstein.
In addition to Chalamet and Paltrow, the film stars Odessa A'zion, Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher in supporting roles.
The cast also includes several celebrities making their feature film acting debuts. Tyler, the Creator co-stars in the film, credited as Tyler Okonma, while "Shark Tank" investor Mr. Wonderful also appears in the film, credited under his real name, Kevin O'Leary.
"Marty Supreme" arrives in theaters on Christmas Day.
