A24 has released a sizzle reel showcasing Robert Pattinson's screen test for his role as Chris Hansen in the film "Primetime." The footage, filmed just two weeks after the movie hit theaters, captures Pattinson's transformation into the "To Catch a Predator" host, as he wanders around various sets, muttering words in an attempt to find his voice.
Pattinson's dedication to the role is evident, but the source material for the film takes creative liberties with Hansen's history, delivering a fictionalized tale set in the mid-aughts media landscape. Despite the fictional nature of the story, Hansen expressed his thoughts on the film in a recent video, stating that he wasn't blown away by it either way.
Days later, in a podcast interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters, Hansen graded Pattinson's performance a low "D," acknowledging that many viewers found it overly theatrical.
