NEW YORK—Confirming his new film fell somewhere between fact and fiction, director Josh Safdie explained to reporters Friday that Marty Supreme was a slight dramatization of LeBron James’ life. “I wouldn’t call it a biopic, exactly, but yes, Marty Supreme is about King James,” said the filmmaker, who sought to dispel any confusion surrounding the sports drama by clarifying that the film was “loosely inspired” by the life of the 40-year-old NBA star. “We took a few creative liberties, of course: the name Marty Mauser, his personality and physical appearance, the fact that he’s playing ping-pong. But he’s still just a kid from Akron, even if the movie is set in New York City in the 1950s. And obviously, [Timothée] Chalamet does a great job capturing this.” At press time, Safdie was praising Kevin O’Leary’s performance as Bronny James.
