The actor has shocked the viewers with the recreation of Hansen’s signature confrontational style in the footage. "What would have happened if I wasn’t here? You see how this looks, right? At the end of the day, a man must be held accountable for the decisions that he makes. Would you agree? Do you watch television? Well, there’s something you should know. I’m Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC, and you’re able to be a part of television history," Pattinson says in the clip.
About Primetime
This film is Oppenheim’s first scripted feature after the success of documentaries such as Ren Faire, Some Kind of Heaven and Spermworld. The screenplay has been written by Ajon Singh. Primetime also features Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, Phoebe Bridgers, Bokeem Woodbine, Anna Faris and Matthew Maher in key roles.
About To Catch a Predator
The original series aired between 2004 and 2007 and was among NBC’s most talked-about reality-investigative programmes. While it developed a huge following, the show also faced criticism over its ethics and methods.
Produced by A24 alongside Range Media, Icki Eneo Arlo and Square Peg, Primetime is expected to hit theatres this fall.
