Overview
- A24 released a new trailer on Sept. 15 for Primetime while the film is riding positive reviews from its Venice premiere and building awards-season attention.
- Robert Pattinson stars as a fictionalized Chris Hansen and is credited as a producer, with a cast that includes Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, Phoebe Bridgers and Bokeem Woodbine.
- The movie was written by Ajon Singh and adapted from Luke Dittrich’s reporting about Dateline NBC’s To Catch a Predator, with Lance Oppenheim making his narrative-feature debut.
- Chris Hansen has publicly said he was not consulted, refused a studio preview NDA, bought preshow ads for his TruBlu service and said he is consulting lawyers over the film’s depiction.
- With a U.S. theatrical release set for Sept. 25, the trailer’s timing keeps publicity focused on both the film’s critical momentum and unresolved questions about rights, accuracy and potential legal scrutiny.
