Timothée Chalamet has come up with an intriguing campaign idea for the upcoming film *Marty Supreme* that involves Camp Flog Gnaw, the music festival founded by Tyler, the Creator. With just over a month remaining until the Christmas Day release of the sports comedy-drama—which stars both Chalamet and Tyler (credited as Tyler Okonma)—the actor took to X to share what appeared to be a discussion with the film’s marketing team.
The Zoom meeting mostly featured Chalamet pitching increasingly creative and humorous promotional ideas in an effort to make the movie’s release, in his own words, “one of the most important things that happens on Planet Earth this year.”
He proposed a variety of bold concepts, including distributing “thousands of Wheaties boxes” and painting iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower in orange. Eventually, the SAG Award winner suggested a blimp emblazoned with “Marty Supreme” across the top and “Dream Big” at the bottom.
“Everywhere you go—Marty Supreme blimp,” Chalamet said about 10 minutes and 30 seconds into the video.
Although one member of the team expressed some reservations, Chalamet encouraged everyone to embrace his vision. He also clarified that he preferred not to be directly involved with the blimp because of his fear of flying.
The actor then brought up Camp Flog Gnaw, which was recently postponed from this weekend to the following weekend due to inclement weather in Los Angeles.
“Like, even [as] Tyler is headlining Flog Gnaw, we should have the blimp go above Camp Flog Gnaw and rain Marty Supreme ping-pong balls,” Chalamet suggested.
Another team member raised concerns about the ping-pong balls potentially being a “safety hazard,” though she assured Chalamet that the team would consider the idea carefully.
“I don’t want to put anybody in an unsafe condition, too,” Chalamet added. “But I also don’t want to be too safe about putting out this movie. If it’s the difference between someone losing an arm and putting out the movie and someone gaining an arm intellectually when they see it, I’m a fan of the latter.”
This playful and creative brainstorming session offers a glimpse into the unique promotional strategies being considered to make *Marty Supreme* a memorable holiday release. Fans can look forward to both the film and how its marketing campaign unfolds in the coming weeks.
