Chris Hansen Invites You to Have a Seat Before Primetime
Vulture • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Chris Hansen appears both as himself and as a character played by Robert Pattinson in A24’s film Primetime, which covers a notorious To Catch a Predator case.
- Hansen has purchased ads to run before every screening of Primetime, promoting his streaming service TruBlu that features true-crime content about scams and predators.
- Despite his involvement, Hansen has not seen the film because A24 required him to sign a nondisclosure agreement, which he refused to do.
- Hansen expressed interest in creating a movie about his To Catch a Predator work but envisioned himself more like comedian Denis Leary rather than being portrayed by Pattinson.
