The Celebrity Beat…

Remember when we were all obsessed with “To Catch a Predator”?  Well, it’s coming back.  Sort of.

Someone made a movie about it, called “Primetime”.  They went a little left-field with their choice to play host Chris Hansen.  And while Robert Pattinson may seem like a strange choice, he pretty much nails the voice.

“Primetime” is set in 2006, when most of the show’s episodes aired.  That’s also the year that a target of the show shot and killed himself, which put an end to the series.  There’s no word if the movie will cover that.

A release date hasn’t been announced yet.
