Pattinson Channels Hansen’s Voice for Primetime in an Audacious Imitation

Robert Pattinson says mastering Chris Hansen’s distinctive voice for A24’s Primetime was incredibly difficult, using Hansen’s Have A Seat podcast to study the host’s cadence while wandering the streets imitating the journalist. The film, directed by Lance Oppenheim, delves into the production, ethics, and media sensationalism behind To Catch a Predator. Pattinson initially joined as a producer and helped shape the project; Hansen wasn’t involved, though he acknowledged Pattinson’s imitation as fairly good in the trailer. Primetime opens in theaters on Sept. 25.

Hansen Walks Out of Primetime Screening, Demands Fiction Label and Donations

Chris Hansen walked out of an August screening of A24’s Primetime over a refused nondisclosure agreement and still hasn’t seen the film in which Robert Pattinson plays him. He’s not seeking money but wants the movie labeled as fiction (not “inspired by true events”) and a donation to organizations aiding child-predator victims; the studio says no consultation was required. Hansen is promoting his TruBlu platform with preshow theater ads as Primetime debuts at Venice on Sept. 5 and opens in U.S. theaters Sept. 25. The film is a dramatized, inspired-by-true-events take on Dateline’s To Catch a Predator, with controversy surrounding portrayal and rights to Hansen’s name and likeness.

Chris Hansen Says NDA Blocked Primetime Screening, Not a Rights Waiver

Deadline reports that Chris Hansen wasn’t refused for refusing to sign away his rights; he was turned away from a private Primetime screening because attendees must sign a standard NDA to prevent spoilers.

The film, directed by Lance Oppenheim and starring Robert Pattinson as Hansen, is set to premiere this year.
