Lance Oppenheim–Emily Assiran
Documentarian Lance Oppenheim is known for his studies of eccentric American subcultures, like Some Kind of Heaven, Spermworld and HBO’s Ren Faire.
He now makes his feature debut with an A24 film starring Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen, the NBC newsman whose televised predator stings became a mid-2000s ratings phenomenon.
Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo and Phoebe Bridgers, in her feature debut, co-star.
Pattinson produces through his Icki Eneo Arlo banner alongside Square Peg’s Lars Knudsen and Ari Aster.
Shot in New Orleans in early 2025, the film dropped a first teaser in late May, and A24 is reportedly targeting a fall release.
