\n\tTimoth\u00e9e Chalamet\u2019s role as a ping pong prodigy in \u201cMarty Supreme<\/a>\u201d is being celebrated by Italy<\/a>\u2019s National Film Museum in Turin\u00a0with a nearly 10-foot tall sculpture in the iconic Mole Antonelliana domed tower, which is the country\u2019s\u00a0cinematic shrine.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe sculpture of Chalamet as Marty Mauser \u2014 the fictionalized version of real-life American table tennis champ Marty Reisman \u2014 has been unveiled in one of the museum\u2019s VR rooms to promote the upcoming release of \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d in Italian cinemas on Jan. 22 via distributor I Wonder Pictures.<\/p>\n

\n\tDirected by Josh Safdie, \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d recently became A24\u2019s highest-grossing film <\/a>at the U.S. box office with a more than $80 million haul and has earned more that $100 million worldwide.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film premiered in Italy on Nov. 26 at the Turin Film Festival as a \u201csecret screening\u201d event, sans talent in tow.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Chalamet sculpture was conceived \u201cas an independent scenic work, capable of condensing the film\u2019s energy, charisma and imagery into a single physical presence,\u201d according to a statement from the museum. It was designed by Danish creative director Lulu Helbaek and Canadian production designer Dominique Gaucher (\u201cBeau Is Afraid\u201d) as part of an immersive experience dedicated to \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d at Italy\u2019s Lucca Comics and Games Convention in November, and was originally housed in the I Wonder\/A24 pavilion for the duration of the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe piece \u201cportrays the character in an iconic pose, suspended between ambition, irony, and heroic tension, transforming Marty into a mythical figure, halfway between pop champion and contemporary anti-hero,\u201d the statement said. <\/p>\n
