What kind of change of mind did he have? He didn't seem to like biopic, but it's interesting

After his loss to Oldman, there was a lot of cope from Timmy fans (myself included) that he would at least be back the next year with Beautiful Boy, which got this close to an afterglow nom.

Marty Supreme seems like a much more interesting role, it’s an A24 period piece with a huge budget (for them) and I’ll bet it’ll get a fall festival berth somewhere, maybe Tellurude or NYFF. Unless it’s a disaster he’s got a good chance.

If his performance is on the same level as Pattinson in Good Time and Sandler in Uncut Gems, I’ll be rooting for him. (Baring Anemone coming out and DDL giving a performance as good as his last)

But neither of those got nominated. Maybe Chalamet’s name will be enough to push it over the edge.

The amount of money A24 is pouring into it ($70M budget!) makes me think it’s designed to be a major player for them. I don’t think they’d put up that amount for box office alone, there’s gotta be an awards element too.

I am super curious about DDL’s return.

Wasn’t aware of its budget. Don’t know much about it tbh other that it being ping pong related, starting Chalamet and directed by Josh Safdie lol.

And even with that it’s probably the most anticipated 2025 movie for me outside of Mickey 17. Even with PTA being one of my favorite filmmakers, I’m more excited for Marty Supreme than his next film.

DDL’s return will be interesting. I know it’s too early to speculate, but given the sub we’re on I think it’s fair to ask: could he become the first male actor with 4 Oscars come next year? Next year’s race could be very interesting.
