Phoebe Bridgers Drops Haunting ‘On Video’ From Soundtrack to Robert Pattinson ‘Primetime’ Film
The singer also makes her acting debut in director Lance Oppenheim's thriller about To Catch a Predator 's Chris Hansen.
Phoebe Bridgers released the haunting track "On Video" on September 25, 2021, as part of the soundtrack for director Lance Oppenheim's psychological crime thriller. The song is featured in Oppenheim's directorial debut, a film he co-directed with Nathan Fielder, about To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen. The song, written specifically for the film, begins with Bridgers whisper singing, "Face painted white With blue butterflies/ Wasting wishes on the world/ You could go home/ But you would be alone," before building into a grungy chorus.
Bridgers will also make her acting debut in the A24 movie, where she plays Del Harvey, a young decoy on the show. The film, based on a 2007 Esquire article, stars Robert Pattinson as Hansen and features an ensemble cast including Merritt Weaver, Skyler Gisondo, Dan Plumb, Matthew Maher, Bokeem Woodbine, and Alex Winter. Bridgers discussed her apprehension about the project at a press conference, but found the collaborative environment supportive and enjoyable.
