Robert Pattinson has been having one hell of a year on screen, with critically acclaimed turns in the excellent The Drama and Christopher Nolan’s box office juggernaut The Odyssey. Before heading to Arrakis in the concluding chapter of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three, he stars in what might be his most provocative outing of 2026.
He plays American TV journalist Chris Hansen, the former host of the show To Catch a Predator, in Lance Oppenheim’s Primetime. And while the film may perplex audiences, there’s no denying that Pattinson should by all rights be on his way to an Oscar nomination.
