<p>"What would have happened if I wasn't here? You see how this looks, right?" Hansen asks, further adding, "At the end of the day, a man must be held accountable for the decisions that he makes. Would you agree?"</p>
<p>Pattinson's TV host then asks, "Do you watch television? Well, there's something you should know. I'm Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC -- and you're able to be a part of television history."</p>
<p>The trailer also suggests that 'Primetime' will be in the vein of Dan Gilroy's 2014 thriller '<strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/hollywood-news/article/movie-review--nightcrawler--15746194" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Nightcrawler</a></strong>', which featured Jake Gyllenhaal as the shady, ambulance-chasing stringer.</p>
<p>Besides Pattinson in the lead, others rounding up the cast are Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo and Phoebe Bridgers.</p>
<p>The film is set to hit theatres this fall; however, an official release date is yet to be announced.</p>
<p>With a script from Ajon Singh, 'Primetime' is produced by Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Fred Berger, Pattinson, Brighton McCloskey, Lars Knudsen and Tyler Campellone.</p>
