Summary
I’m so excited! A24 just announced that Lance Oppenheim’s new movie, ‘Primetime,’ starring Robert Pattinson is coming to theaters this fall. Apparently, it’s a thriller inspired by the early days of ‘To Catch a Predator’ and Pattinson plays a TV journalist – think Chris Hansen vibes. Even better, it’s going to premiere at the Venice Film Festival first, and then will be released nationwide on September 25th! I’ve already marked my calendar.
A24 announced that the new drama Primetime, directed by Lance Oppenheim and starring Robert Pattinson, will be released in theaters on September 25, 2026. The film will first premiere at the Venice International Film Festival.
The film, directed by Lance Oppenheim (known for Ren Faire) and written by Ajon Singh, draws inspiration from the popular 2006 TV show To Catch a Predator. Robert Pattinson stars as an eager NBC Dateline reporter determined to create a groundbreaking television event. He attempts to track down and confront people suspected of online child predation, working with police and a team posing as decoys.
Robert Pattinson not only played the main character but also helped produce the film through his production company, Icki Eneo Arlo, with Brighton McCloskey, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Fred Berger, Lars Knudsen, and Tyler Campellone. The movie features a strong supporting cast including Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, Phoebe Bridgers, Matthew Maher, Bokeem Woodbine, and Anna Faris, and dives into the worlds of sensationalized news, invasive media, and contemporary vigilantes.
The movie Primetime will be released in theaters on September 25, 2026, by A24, after premiering at the Venice Film Festival.
