Timothée Chalamet X A24, Christmas Gamble... 'Marty Supreme' Releases at Sphere on the 25th

Hollywood's biggest star Timothée Chalamet is giving fans the most massive and special Christmas gift. Las Vegas's landmark 'Sphere' will transform into a movie theater for the first time in history, welcoming audiences on the 25th.

According to reports from Rolling Stone and Variety on the 23rd (local time), A24 announced that director Josh Safdie's new film 'Marty Supreme' will be released on Christmas Day, December 25, at the Las Vegas Sphere.

This is the first time a commercial feature film will be screened at the Sphere, a $2.3 billion (approximately 3 trillion won) dome venue. Previously, the Sphere has only hosted legendary band concerts and exclusive documentaries, but starting this Christmas, it will be reborn as a new holy land for the film industry. Audiences will experience the trajectory of ping pong balls and the breath of Timothée Chalamet vividly through a 16K ultra-high-definition LED screen that provides a 3D-like depth without glasses.

◆ Timothée Chalamet Perfectly Transforms into Ping Pong Legend

'Marty Supreme' is a biopic about the tumultuous life of the 'Wizard of Ping Pong' Marty Reisman, who dominated the 1950s. In the released trailer, Chalamet showcases a thin mustache, flamboyant fashion, and god-like ping pong skills, receiving praise for perfectly embodying Marty Reisman. Additionally, a star-studded supporting cast including Gwyneth Paltrow and Tyler, the Creator will heat up the Christmas box office.

◆ A24's Bold Bet

Choosing an 'event cinema' format at a specific landmark instead of the conventional theatrical release is a bold experiment by distributor A24. An industry insider stated, "The release at the Sphere goes beyond simple screening to the realm of 'experience'," and predicted that the Christmas opening performance will significantly influence the screening methods of future blockbuster films.

The unprecedented cinematic experience created by Timothée Chalamet, Josh Safdie, and the Las Vegas Sphere will be unveiled to the world in two days on the 25th.
