We’re a little over a month away from the release of Marty Supreme, which promises to be a buzzer beater in the Best Film of the 2025 conversation (spoiler: it is absolutely a contender) and Timothée Chalamet is pulling out all the stops in service of promoting the movie he’s called “the best thing I’ve been in.” He’s already been setting himself apart from his peers by approaching the Marty rollout with the same craft and consideration to detail and aesthetic that some of our best pop stars apply to their album eras. Now, he’s adding a meta element to the proceedings with his latest stunt on the Marty tour.
Instead of taking himself too seriously and relishing in the fact that we’re all giving him props for such cool ideas, Timothée is instead taking the piss out it all with a new skit playing off of the idea of how “brilliant” his ideas are.
A new, 18-minute video the actor uploaded to his social media this morning shows him on a marketing Zoom call with a handful of A24 employees to discuss fun, innovative ways to promo Marty Supreme. The whole clip is a pitch-perfect, dryly hilarious satire of both corporate meeting culture and movie star narcissism, as a group of high-ranking A24 reps have to listen to and indulge Timothée tossing out ideas like painting the Statue of Liberty in Marty Supreme Orange, or raining a bunch of ping pong balls down on the crowd at MS co-star Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival performance from an orange blimp.
Through it all, Timothée plays it completely straight-faced, even when he says things like “I had my visual artist work in this for six months” only to show a crude drawing of a blimp that a child could’ve made in six minutes. It’s unclear if the other people on the Zoom call are fellow actors or real A24 heads, but they’re hilarious, delivering clipped one-liners, doing their best not to betray any kind of incredulity or disdain. (Be sure to clock the two-minute mark as everyone strains to remain emotionless while Timothée keeps yelling “schwap!” to accentuate his points.)
So first Timothée Chalamet remixes the rollout—now he’s making fun of himself for doing so. Imagine what he’ll think of next as Marty Supreme enters the home stretch. Watch the full Zoom sketch below.
