GoKawiilA24's 'Primetime' dramatizes Chris Hansen's 'To Catch a Predator' era
Director Lance Oppenheim's film Primetime, starring Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen, reconstructs the peak years of the NBC series To Catch a Predator, which paired Hansen with the group Perverted Justice to lure and confront men seeking minors online. The film, opening in theaters September 25, portrays Hansen as craving fame and validation rather than acting purely as a public servant, while noting the show still has an active fan community years after NBC canceled it in 2007.
