Robert Pattinson has debuted his transformation into Chris Hansen, the former host of ‘To Catch a Predator’, in the trailer for the upcoming thriller ‘Primetime’.
Transformation Sparks Conversation
The film, directed by Lance Oppenheim, follows Hansen as he sets out to make television history in the 2000s. ‘To Catch a Predator’ was a popular Dateline NBC series that used undercover sting operations to confront adults accused of attempting to meet minors for sex before they were arrested by police.
Pattinson’s performance has sparked conversation among fans, with some praising his portrayal of Hansen and predicting Oscar buzz. However, others have questioned whether the film will tackle the controversy surrounding the show’s abrupt end, including the death of Assistant District Attorney Bill Conradt, who died by suicide after being confronted by police and Dateline NBC cameras during a sting operation.
