“No. Honey, never,” Paltrow replied, to which Hawke interjected, “I think it’s the same damn location.”

The trailer, set to Alphaville’s 1984 hit “Forever Young,” showcases Chalamet’s character as he sets out to become a worldwide sensation in table tennis.
The movie is directed by Josh Safdie (Uncut Gems) with A24’s official synopsis reading: “Marty Mauser, a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.”
