'Marty Supreme': Timothée Chalamet will go from playing music superstar Bob Dylan to a ping-pong wizard

In a post from the Oscar-winning studio, A24 broke the news it will be releasing Josh Safdie 's forthcoming movie Marty Supreme , for which ABC Audio has confirmed Timothée Chalamet is in final talks to star and produce.

The social media post came with a black-and-white photo of a ping-pong ball.

While Variety reports Chalamet will be playing Marty Reisman , a former ping-pong-playing hustler who became a world champion and pop culture star, A24 tells ABC Audio the project "is not a biopic of Marty Reisman," calling it a "fictionalized original work."

A24 also confirmed Marty Supreme was written by Safdie and frequent collaborator Ronald Bronstein .

Chalamet recently wrapped work on A Complete Unknown , in which he portrayed a much more famous star: Bob Dylan .
