From Variety

Six years after Tyler, the Creator rapped, “Tell Tim Chalamet to come get at me,” the Grammy winner has joined the “Dune” star in the cast of A24’s “Marty Supreme.”

From director Josh Safdie, “Marty Supreme” marks Tyler’s film debut. The fashion designer and “See You Again” singer previously co-created and starred in Adult Swim’s “Loiter Squad” series alongside his Odd Future cohorts. He also co-created the Adult Swim animated show “The Jellies!” as well as the Viceland docuseries “Nuts + Bolts.”

Tyler joins Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow in the A24 title, which is said to center on a professional ping pong pro. Plot details for “Marty Supreme” are kept under wraps, but A24 posted an image of a table tennis ball with the words “coming soon” after Variety broke news of the project in July. The original screenplay for “Marty Supreme” was written by Safdie and Ronald Bronstein, who both produce alongside Eli Bush, Anthony Katagas and Chalamet.
