A24 and Disney CreativeWorks have teamed up for a festive crossover that marries cinema and live sport, promoting the Christmas Day release of Marty Supreme alongside ESPN’s all-day NBA slate.
Directed by Julia Pitch of Greenpoint Pictures, the shared promo stars Timothée Chalamet and retired NBA icon Metta World Peace in a high-stakes game of table tennis, rhythmically cut to Carol of the Bells.
The spot opens with a silver briefcase of NBA-branded ping pong balls and unfolds in a table tennis match. In his Marty Supreme windbreaker, Chalamet summons Metta World Peace to the table, serving a Knicks ball in a nod to his past.
The ad ends with a reminder to “See Marty Supreme, in theaters Christmas Day,” with Chalamet echoing, “And watch NBA Christmas Day on ESPN and ABC.”
