Chris Hansen Does Not Approve Robert Pattinson Playing Him in ‘Primetime’
Chris Hansen said the film was made without his input and questioned A24’s motive as the studio arranges a private screening.
- On Monday, former "To Catch a Predator" host Chris Hansen questioned "Hollywood's motive" behind A24's upcoming drama "Primetime," revealing he was not consulted on the film starring Robert Pattinson.
- Directed by Lance Oppenheim, the A24 film chronicles the 2006 rise of Hansen's controversial "To Catch a Predator" series, which aired on Dateline NBC and involved investigations with watchdog group Perverted-Justice.
- Hansen emphasized on the "Serialously With Annie Elise" podcast that he had no involvement in the creative process, noting he would have preferred Denis Leary to play him instead.
- Although he has not yet seen the film, A24 is arranging a private screening for Hansen next week, during which he will evaluate the dramatization of his work.
- "Primetime" will make its debut at the Venice Film Festival before hitting theaters on Sept. 25, featuring a cast including Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, Phoebe Bridgers, Matthew Maher, and Bokeem Woodbine.
