Robert Pattinson Stars as Chris Hansen in Thriller 'Primetime' Premiering at Venice
Robert Pattinson stars as Chris Hansen in "Primetime," a thriller inspired by the NBC show "To Catch a Predator," premiering at the Venice Film Festival. Pattinson, also a producer, aimed to capture Hansen's persona despite challenges with the accent. Hansen praised the imitation but described it as "overly dramatic" and hinted at possible legal concerns. Directed by Lance Oppenheim, the film explores the 2006 sting operation that led to the suicide of Texas assistant district attorney Bill Conradt.
