Josh Safdie’s upcoming film Marty Supreme will debut in 70mm format in select theaters in New York City and Los Angeles on December 18. The special engagement will precede the film’s nationwide release planned shortly afterward.
A24’s choice to screen Marty Supreme in 70mm underscores the studio’s commitment to preserving cinematic texture and detail in a format rarely used for contemporary films. The director’s collaboration with cinematographer Darius Khondji enhances the immersive quality that 70mm projection offers.
“It’s about scale and sensation,” Safdie said in an earlier interview, describing how the film’s visual rhythm builds from small, chaotic scenes to expansive sequences that thrive on the format’s depth.
The film stars Timothée Chalamet in a lead role, marking his latest collaboration with A24 following Dune: Part Two. Production wrapped earlier this year, with much of the filming taking place in New York.
Marty Supreme continues A24’s success in nurturing director-driven projects that combine bold visual storytelling with cultural commentary. The studio previously handled theatrical releases for auteurs like Ari Aster and Robert Eggers, further cementing its reputation for championing ambitious filmmaking.
Author Summary: A24’s Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie and starring Timothée Chalamet, debuts in 70mm in NYC and LA on December 18 ahead of its nationwide rollout.
