"I've been doing this for about 55 years, so everything I've done has made the next project easier. But I'm always looking for films that are difficult because it's boring if it's not difficult. It seems he found that challenge with Marty Supreme—and perhaps, it will be the project that finally secures him the coveted statuette."
"In its set design, Marty Supreme creates a world that captures the gritty, postwar essence of New York in the early 1950s. Industry veteran Jack Fisk, Hollywood's go-to production designer for period-specific projects, was tasked with forging an atmosphere that meets Marty even at his most erratic and unhinged."
Marty Supreme, an A24 sports comedy drama directed by Josh Safdie, follows Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a shoe salesman pursuing table tennis stardom. The film, loosely based on late Marty Reisman's life, has garnered nine Academy Award nominations. Production designer Jack Fisk, a four-time Oscar nominee, crafted an immersive 1950s New York setting that captures the era's gritty postwar atmosphere. Fisk's five-decade career includes acclaimed period work on There Will Be Blood, The Revenant, and Killers of the Flower Moon. His method-style approach to set design brings authenticity to Marty's world, recreating historical locations including Reisman's actual table tennis parlor.
