US EditionTimothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow on intensity of making ‘Marty Supreme’
- On Thursday, Marty Supreme opens in theaters, and Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow detailed the film's intense making at a Los Angeles screening Q&A.
- Chalamet trained for years in table tennis, filming matches twice including mimed sequences for VFX, while Paltrow, returning after 2019's Avengers: Endgame, rehearsed stage scenes to ease camera pressure.
- Safdie explained the double-lens technique using +6.5 contact lenses and-6.5 glasses, while Chalamet experienced dizziness and an eye infection reaching his physical limit, and ping-pong matches were filmed twice for choreography.
- Safdie credited Paltrow's vulnerability for informing Kay Stone, and Safdie said `The vulnerability that you felt, you brought to the character` as she drew on 1940s actors; Mamet cameoed as the director, and Safdie and Bronstein wrote more of the play and its full scathing review.
- Promotional excess may set misleading expectations, as Chalamet's top-of-Sphere stunt and A24 and Cash App collaborations turned the Las Vegas Sphere promotion into a carnival, while critics warned of audience disappointment.
