Now, Safdie is returning to the world of sports for his first film as a solo director, but this time, it's ping-pong.
Chalamet is also co-producing the film, having previously done so on Bones and All and Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. But is the film based on a true story? Read on for everything you need to know ahead of its release later this year.
Instead, according to Deadline, Marty Supreme will be "a fictionalised original, rather than a biopic". Audiences shouldn't be expecting another Lenny Cooke – this is clearly set to be a dramatised account of Reisman's career.
Who was the real Marty Supreme?
The real Marty Supreme (or, rather, the real Marty Mauser) was actually called Marty Reisman. Reisman was born in 1930 and died at 82 in 2012. He was a champion table tennis player whose professional career spanned over 50 years.
Throughout his career, Reisman won five bronze medals at the World Table Tennis Championships – a combination of both singles and doubles medals – while he won a total 22 major table tennis titles including two US Opens and a British Open.
He remained active in the sport long into his life, and was serving as president of Table Tennis Nation at the time of his death.
Reisman published a memoir in 1974 titled The Money Player, The Confessions of America's Greatest Table Tennis Player and Hustler. And although it's nearly impossible to track down a copy today, it's possible that this served as an inspiration for Marty Supreme.
