Robert Pattinson Transforms Into Chris Hansen For A24 Primetime Thriller

Robert Pattinson is stepping into the intense world of reality television in the brand new trailer for the upcoming movie Primetime. A24 dropped the gripping footage on August 6, giving fans their first real look at the actor completely transforming into Chris Hansen. The film explores the origins of the highly controversial hit television show To Catch a Predator and drops into theaters later this fall.



The new trailer highlights a tense true story about television



Pattinson plays the host of the popular NBC series To Catch a Predator. The movie digs deep into how Hansen secured a major time slot by blending reality broadcasting with vigilante justice.



Director Lance Oppenheim guides the story, which looks less like a standard biography and more like a tense thriller. The newly released footage shows the heavy tension that happened when the film crew confronted individuals arriving at a sting house. The real series was incredibly popular but drew a lot of criticism during its run on network television.
