- Robert Pattinson has stated that his upcoming psychological thriller Primetime is not intended as an indictment of television presenter Chris Hansen.
- Directed by Lance Oppenheim, the film dramatises the behind-the-scenes creation of the controversial American reality series To Catch a Predator.
- Pattinson stars as Hansen, an NBC journalist who collaborated with vigilante groups to expose child predators through sting operations.
- Screenwriter Ajon Singh explained that the film explores themes of public shaming and human nature rather than seeking to moralise on the subject.
- Although Hansen previously voiced concerns that the movie aimed to demonise him, he has encouraged audiences to watch it and form their own opinions.
