Robert Pattinson dives headfirst into the gritty, meme-fueled world of Chris Hansen in “Primetime,” a Venice premiere that’s already sparking buzz. Playing the iconic TV host-turned-culture-phenomenon, Pattinson calls it “grunt work” — but irresistible stuff. Director Lance Oppenheim, known for docs, explores how Hansen became a global symbol — and the tragic 2006 sting operation that ended in suicide. The film also marks Phoebe Bridgers’ acting debut, and with “Dune: Part Three” looming, this is just one more standout role in Pattinson’s breakout year. The festival’s star power only amplified — George Clooney, John Malkovich, even Oasis members added to the spectacle.
