Gwyneth Paltrow to join Timothée Chalamet in upcoming film ‘Marty Supreme’
Gwyneth Paltrow and Timothée Chalamet are teaming up in a new movie, ABC Audio has learned.
Paltrow is joining forces with the Dune star in A24’s forthcoming Marty Supreme, which will be directed by Josh Safdie.
Chalamet is also co-producing the project from the studio behind The Whale and Everything Everywhere All at Once.
While Variety initiallyreported Chalamet will be playing Marty Reisman, a former ping-pong-playing hustler who became a world champion and pop culture star, A24 specified the project “is not a biopic of Marty Reisman,” calling it a “fictionalized original work.”
Marty Supreme was written by Safdie and frequent collaborator Ronald Bronstein.
The film will mark Paltrow’s return to the big screen for the first time since the 2019 blockbuster Avengers: Endgame.
Emilia Clarke has been tapped to star in Ponies, a spy show that has just been given a series order by Peacock.
According to the streamer, the series takes place in 1977 in Moscow, centering on two “Ponies,” that is “persons of no interest” in intelligence speak.
The pair “work anonymously as secretaries in the American Embassy. That is until their husbands are killed under mysterious circumstances in the USSR, and the pair become CIA operatives.”
Clarke will play Bea, “an over-educated, Russian-speaking child of Soviet immigrants.” Her cohort, Twila, “is a small-town girl who is as abrasive as she is fearless. Together, they work to uncover a vast Cold War conspiracy and solve the mystery that made them widows in the first place.”
Ponies will be directed, executive produced and co-written by SusannaFogel. David Iserson will serve as co-writer and showrunner.

Lionsgate’s forthcoming big-screen adaptation of James O’Barr’s classic graphic novel The Crow his theaters Friday.
The revenge film stars It‘s Bill Skarsgård and actress-singer FKA Twigs.
As in the comic and the original movie, The Crow centers on Eric Draven, who is murdered along with the love of his life, Shelly, only for him to be supernaturally resurrected and avenge their deaths.
The 1994 original is synonymous with the tragic death of its lead, Brandon Lee: The only son of legendary martial artist Bruce Lee was mortally wounded by a mishap with a firearm on set on March 28, 1993. He was 28.
“In stepping away from the first Crow, we are going to experience a great loss. Like, first of all with Brandon Lee,” Twigs tells ABC Audio.
“But second of all, a great loss of where culture was at that time musically. And kind of just on a sensory level of, like, on the street, things are very different. And even I often think to myself, ‘Oh, I wish I … could have experienced what it would be like to go and see The Cure in concert, or to kind of live this romanticized version of what goth was then. … It’s a great loss because it’s just not like that anymore.”
She continues, “But I think in stepping into this new Crow, I really wanted to focus on what we gained, which was really an incredible love story between Eric and Shelley.”
FKA expresses, “This love is worth fighting for, and I am so excited for younger generations to feel that fire for themselves and the type of relationships that they deserve, the same way that Eric and Shelly fought for the relationship with each other that they finally achieved and deserved.”
