A24 has unveiled the first trailer for "Primetime," its upcoming film about the controversial TV series "To Catch a Predator." The movie stars Robert Pattinson and will hit theaters next month.
The trailer features a pointed moment involving former NBC executive Jeff Zucker, who tells Pattinson's character, "I don't like your show." It also includes a boastful line: "We're going to be bigger than 'Lost'!"
The film is a dramatic take on the Dateline NBC series hosted by Chris Hansen, which set up sting operations to expose alleged child predators. The show was known for its hidden cameras and confrontations, and it sparked debate about the ethics of citizen journalism.
"Primetime" arrives in theaters next month. The trailer offers a glimpse of the tension between the show's sensational appeal and the personal toll on its host, played by Pattinson. With Zucker's dismissive remark, the film appears to explore the behind-the-scenes clashes during the show's rise.
The project marks A24's latest high-profile release. Pattinson's involvement and the source material's notoriety have already generated significant buzz. Fans of the actor and true-crime dramas will get a chance to see the full story on the big screen soon.
