Ren Faire director Lance Oppenheim is queuing up his first scripted feature film, teaming up with Robert Pattinson producing and A24 for Primetime.
The feature is rumored to take inspiration from To Catch A Predator, though no connection has been confirmed yet. The script by Ajon Singh is said to center on a journalist who takes on the underbelly of crime in a unique way that forever changes television. At this time, Pattinson does not have an acting role, only producing.
Sources say that the film draws inspiration from To Catch a Predator, the popular 2000s reality TV show in which host Chris Hansen set up sting operations luring adult men to homes under the pretense of sexual encounters with minors. As of right now, A24 has not confirmed any connection to the show.
Oppenheim will direct and exec produce with screenwriter Singh. Sources say A24 is moving swiftly and could be in production as soon as early next year.
Pattinson produces via his Icki Eneo Arlo banner along with Brighton McCloskey, Range’s Brian Kavanaugh Jones and Fred Berger, Square Peg’s Lars Knudsen. Ari Aster and Tyler Campellone will also produce.
Exec producers include William Iannaccone and A.J. Bourscheid for Range and Emily Hildner for Square Peg.
Oppenheim is known for works that dabble between documentary and narrative features, with the three-part HBO series Ren Faire the most example. He is known for the doc features Spermworld and Some Kind of Heaven. He is repped by UTA, Iconoclast and Johnson Shapiro.
Pattinson will next be seen starring in the Parasite director, Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17 releasing in January 2025. He is also slated to shoot The Batman Part Two next year. He is repped by WME, 3 Arts Entertainment and Sloane Offer.
Ajon is represented at Untitled Entertainment and Ziffren Brittenham. Pattinson is repped by WME and Curtis Brown Group.
