The trailer for Robert Pattinson`s starrer `Primetime` has been unveiled, chronicling the origins of Chris Hansen`s `To Catch a Predator`.
Earlier, a 2024 Deadline report suggested a film from Ren Faire`s Lance Oppenheim. “A journalist who takes on an underworld of crime and changes television forever,” the logline stated at the time.
The trailer hints at Hansen`s early efforts with the show, with Pattinson issuing dialogue that will seem familiar to anyone who has seen `To Catch a Predator`.
“What would have happened if I wasn`t here? You see how this looks, right?” Hansen asks, further adding, “At the end of the day, a man must be held accountable for the decisions that he makes. Would you agree?”
Pattinson`s TV host then asks, “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.”
The trailer also suggests that `Primetime` will be in the vein of Dan Gilroy`s 2014 thriller `Nightcrawler`, which featured Jake Gyllenhaal as the shady, ambulance-chasing stringer.
Besides Pattinson in the lead, others rounding up the cast are Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo and Phoebe Bridgers.
The film is set to hit theatres this fall; however, an official release date is yet to be announced.
With a script from Ajon Singh, `Primetime` is produced by Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Fred Berger, Pattinson, Brighton McCloskey, Lars Knudsen and Tyler Campellone.
