What is Primetime about?
A24's Primetime takes inspiration from the rise of the reality television series, To Catch A Predator, hosted by Chris Hansen (played by Pattinson).
Running from 2004 to 2008, the series took the format of hidden camera and undercover sting operations, to expose paedophiles who believed they were meeting up with children.
Instead, they were confronted by predator hunter, Hansen, where many of those involved later ended up being arrested by law enforcement.
The series took a controversial turn when a one of the men invited to the sting house killed himself, leading to the cancellation of the series.
Primetime is psychological crime thriller film directed by Lance Oppenheim, set to explore the obsessive pursuit of ratings, media sensationalism and the ethical questions raised by the show's methods.
