Los Angeles, Oct 24: “The Batman” star Robert Pattinson is set to produce “Primetime”, a film set against the backdrop of TV journalism.
The movie, which hails from studio A24, will be directed by Lance Oppenheim of TV series “Ren Faire” fame. It is his first scripted feature film, penned by Ajon Singh.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Primetime” is said to follow the story of a journalist who takes on the underbelly of crime and changes television forever.
Insiders say the film draws inspiration from “To Catch a Predator”, the 2000s reality show hosted by Chris Hansen.
Oppenheim is also attached to executive produce the film along with Singh.
Pattinson will produce “Primetime” via his Icki Eneo Arlo banner along with Brighton McCloskey, Range’s Brian Kavanaugh Jones and Fred Berger. Square Peg’s Lars Knudsen, Ari Aster and Tyler Campellone will also back the movie.
Pattinson served as an executive producer on the 2010 drama feature “Remember Me”, which also starred him in the lead.
The actor will next be seen in “Mickey 17”, a sci-fi black comedy directed by Bong Joon-ho. (PTI)
