A24’s upcoming film Primetime is set to revisit the story behind To Catch a Predator and the man who became its face. Led by Robert Pattinson as a version of journalist Chris Hansen and directed by Lance Oppenheim, the crime thriller dramatizes the rise of the Dateline sting series that defined mid-2000s television.
Set for a September 25, 2026 theatrical release, the film is inspired by the Esquire article about the show’s behind-the-scenes story and has already drawn attention ahead of its debut. With a few more days left until the film’s release, Hansen’s career is back in discussion. People are also eager to know his current whereabouts.
