Robert Pattinson<\/a> does an uncanny vocal impression of Dateline NBC\u2019s Chris Hansen in the tense teaser trailer for Primetime.<\/p>\n

Pattinson channels the infamous To Catch a Predator host with the actor\u2019s no-holds-barred precision, mimicking Hansen\u2019s very recognizable voice as he recites some of Hansen\u2019s most famous lines from the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat would have happened if I wasn\u2019t here? \u2026 You see how this looks, right?\u201d Pattinson asks in a voiceover, as clips of various To Catch a Predator sting operations (from the movie, not the actual show) play across TV screens.<\/p>\n

Pattinson has become known for his chameleon-like voiceover work and quirky accents in films such as The Boy and the Heron and Mickey 17. His Hansen impression is much more grounded than those, though no less impressive.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2006, To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen sets out to make television history,\u201d reads the official logline<\/a> for the film, out sometime this year.<\/p>\n

Though little else is known about the plot as of publishing, the teaser indicates Primetime will lean darker and more psychological than a traditional biopic. It will also seemingly focus on the infamous and controversial four-day, multi-sting operation in Texas in 2006, when a suspect died via suicide inside his home as Hansen\u2019s camera crew and law enforcement approached him as part of an investigation for To Catch a Predator.<\/p>\n

The upcoming drama-thriller from A24 also stars Phoebe Bridgers, Merritt Wever, and Skyler Gisondo.<\/p>\n

To Catch a Predator aired on NBC between 2004 and 2007. The show followed Hansen as he confronted, via various hidden-camera sting operations, adult men accused of attempting to meet minors for sex. The operations typically featured a decoy minor played by an adult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
