The film 'Primetime', starring Robert Pattinson as TV host Chris Hansen, is set for UK release on October 30. Inspired by the real-life show 'To Catch a Predator', it explores the ethical dilemmas of sensationalist journalism. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and is part of a week of cultural events, including the Apple TV+ series 'Brothers' and an exhibition in Florence. The story highlights the 2006 suicide of a Texas prosecutor during a police raid filmed for the show, raising questions about media responsibility.
