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.
VENICE. Media satire and thriller-dark "Primetime" caused record-breaking queues. Robert Pattinson fronts the drama that could win a Golden Lion at the festival, and joins the stars visiting this year's tropically hot film festival.
