Timothée Chalamet to star in new ping pong movie

Timothée Chalamet is set to star in a biopic film about the late pro ping pong player Marty Reisman. The Oscar-nominee will play the lead role in the movie from Josh Safdie and A24, reports Variety. The film is a fictionalised story inspired by the life of Reisman, who died in 2012. Reisman was an American ping pong icon who scooped 22 major table tennis titles between 1946 and 2002. He became the oldest player to ever win an open national competition in 1997 at the age of 67.
