Peter Gabriel Expresses Gratitude to Josh Safdie for ‘Marty Supreme’ Sync Highlighting Longstanding Table Tennis Passion
Josh Safdie’s highly anticipated film, Marty Supreme, is set to release in theaters on December 25. The movie has generated significant buzz, especially for its distinctive soundtrack. Among the featured tracks is Peter Gabriel’s “I Have The Touch,” a song from 1982 that is expected to gain renewed popularity due to its inclusion in the film.
Peter Gabriel’s Gratitude to Josh Safdie
Peter Gabriel expressed his appreciation to Safdie for incorporating his track into Marty Supreme. Although Gabriel has yet to view the film, he shared his excitement on his website. He noted his longstanding passion for table tennis, stating, “On tour, we always have a table backstage for any of the crew or band to jump on.”
The Soundtrack Highlights
In addition to Gabriel’s iconic track, Marty Supreme includes several other notable songs:
- Tears For Fears – “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”
- Alphaville – “Forever Young”
- Public Image Ltd. – “The Order of Death”
- The Korgis – “Everybody’s Got to Learn Some Time”
Gabriel mentioned that his song “rarely gets asked out for a dance,” yet it has made appearances in other films before, such as The Chocolate War and Phenomenon. It appears that the director and composer Daniel Lopatin, known as Oneohtrix Point Never, has curated an intriguing score for the film, enhancing its overall appeal.
Looking Forward to Release
As the film’s release date approaches, expectations are high. Gabriel anticipates that Marty Supreme will bring attention to his work, sparking greater interest in his music. Fans eagerly await the opportunity to experience the film—and, of course, its unique soundtrack—on the big screen this holiday season.
With a talented cast, including Timothée Chalamet and Tyler, The Creator, Marty Supreme promises to be a cinematic event worth seeing. The combination of Safdie’s direction and a compelling soundtrack could well define the season’s cinematic landscape.
