Robert Pattinson agrees to star in Ajon Singh’s Primetime script
Screenwriter Ajon Singh met with actor Robert Pattinson at his Los Angeles home to discuss a project that eventually led to the actor starring in the film.
Initial meeting at Pattinson home
Singh spent years believing his work lacked commercial appeal before receiving an invitation from Pattinson. The two discussed Primetime, a spec script about Chris Hansen that many producers had previously declined to read.
Character development during discussion
Pattinson suggested ideas for the character while Singh took notes in the actor's bathroom. Their conversation shifted the project from a political thriller toward a more mystical portrait of Hansen.
Director and production status
Singh and director Lance Oppenheim left the house after the meeting concluded. Pattinson agreed to produce the film but initially declined to play the lead role himself.
