FILM NEWS: Robert Pattinson has Voiceover Role in Josh Safdie’s “Marty Supreme”
Well I was thinking of going to see this film, but now I have to. Turns out Josh Safdie revealed the following at a recent BFI London event and Variety had this to say:
“During a conversation at London’s BFI Southbank, the director revealed Pattinson had a voice role in the Timothée Chalamet ping pong drama. “No one knows this, but that voice — the commentator, the umpire — is Pattinson,” Safdie said. “It’s like a little easter egg. Nobody knows about that. … He came and watched some stuff and I was like, I don’t know any British people. So he’s the umpire.”
Pattinson can be heard as the announcer during the British Open semifinals scene toward the beginning of the A24 film, before Chalamet’s Marty Mauser faces off against Hungarian champion Bela Kletzki (Géza Röhrig).
This revelation sheds context on a moment in Pattinson’s “Lie Detector Test” video with Vanity Fair, in which his “Die My Love” co-star Jennifer Lawrence asked him, “You once worked with Josh and Benny Safdie on ‘Good Time.’ Would you want to work with them again?” Pattinson definitely said yes, and the polygraph examiner declared that this answer was “deceptive.” Pattinson laughed and said, “That’s crazy.” Perhaps he was trying to conceal a secret!”
No upcoming appearances
