More ‘Marty’ madness.
It appears the recent Josh Safdie controversy may already be having tangible consequences. Safdie, who helmed “Marty Supreme,” now seems to have been quietly removed from tomorrow’s scheduled Q&A for the film in New York City — an event that will still go forward, but just with star Timothée Chalamet in attendance.
As of earlier promotional materials, Safdie was listed as a participant alongside Chalamet. However, updated event listings and ticketing descriptions no longer reference Safdie at all, instead framing the Q&A solely around Chalamet and the film. No official statement has been issued, but the timing is difficult to ignore given the bombshell report Safdie has faced in recent days.
The context for this development stems from a recent California Post report, authored by Tatians Siegel, revealing details about the split of the Safdie Brothers.
The rift reportedly traces back to a controversial incident during the filming of 2017’s “Good Time,” when a scene involving a 17-year-old actress and non-actor Buddy Duress allegedly continued under questionable circumstances — an episode that was cut from the final film but would resurface years later and contribute to growing tension between the siblings.
For now, the official line from Marty Supreme’s press team remains undisclosed, and it’s unclear whether Safdie’s absence from the NYC event is a one-off scheduling decision or a response to the resurfaced Safdie split narrative.
Now, the question on everyone’s mind: is Chalamet gonna donate his ‘Marty’ salary and earnings the same way he did with Woody Allen’s “A Rainy Day in New York”? It’s only fair — after all, justice demands it! Come on, Timmy, we dare you: make us proud, save the world once again, and show the haters how it’s done.
