According to The Hollywood Reporter, Primetime is said to follow the story of a journalist who takes on the underbelly of crime and changes television forever. Insiders say the film draws inspiration from To Catch a Predator, the 2000s reality show hosted by Chris Hansen. Oppenheim is also attached to executive produce the film along with Singh.
Pattinson will produce Primetime via his Icki Eneo Arlo banner along with Brighton McCloskey, Range’s Brian Kavanaugh Jones and Fred Berger. Square Peg’s Lars Knudsen, Ari Aster and Tyler Campellone will also back the movie.
Pattinson served as an executive producer on the 2010 drama feature Remember Me, which also starred him in the lead. The actor will next be seen in Mickey 17, a sci-fi black comedy directed by Bong Joon-ho.
