Robert Pattinson Addresses Chris Hansen’s Criticism Over Playing Him in Primetime
- On Saturday, Robert Pattinson attended the Venice Film Festival photocall for Primetime, telling press he hopes Chris Hansen views the film as "some kind of compliment."
- Hansen, who has not yet seen the film, previously voiced "ethical" issues regarding unauthorized use of his name and suggested the trailer portrayed Pattinson as "overly dramatic."
- Lance Oppenheim directs the film, which revisits the legacy of To Catch a Predator, a series that ended in 2007 following a wrongful death lawsuit involving Texas official Bill Conradt.
- During an appearance on Dan Abrams' SiriusXM podcast on August 26, Hansen indicated he was considering legal options regarding the production, though A24 has not publicly commented.
- Scheduled for release on September 25, the A24 film explores a show Pattinson described as "groundbreaking," noting its magnetic presence remains discussed 20 years later.
