Lance Oppenheim

Next up is a big buzzy film right now, Prime Time.

It's directed by Lance Oppenheim, starring Robert Pattinson.

And this is about the making of the controversial show To Catch a Predator.

I'm Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC, and we're doing a story on adults who try to meet teens online.

9 p.m. primetime.

Gonna be bigger than Lost.

Sean, director Lance Oppenheim is actually known for his documentaries, including the upcoming film he made with Nathan Fielder about Elizabeth Holmes.

How is his fiction debut?

But she will have a curfew and there will still be strict rules that she will have to follow.

And Taylor, obviously Holmes' name has been back in the news just because of this documentary trailer that has come out with Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder.

What do we know about the documentary and how it was filmed and just how we're seeing Elizabeth Holmes back in the news now?

Yeah.

Phones were taken away, lights were dimmed, and Nathan Fielder came out to introduce his new project, You Can See Everything.

He and Lance Oppenheim directed this documentary, which is around the fraudulent, imprisoned founder of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes.

And if that they kind of, you know, they're like, hey, if that sounds surprisingly conventional for a project from creatives who brought you like the rehearsal, the curse, primetime, some kind of heaven.

Look, this documentary is everything that that kind of you'd expect.

All right, that's going to do it for the pod this week.

Next week, of course, biggest of all, Primetime, the new film from Lance Oppenheim starring Robert Pattinson.

A lot of hype about this one.

Very excited.

too yeah

We are talking about Primetime, which is the brand new, coming out soon to theaters, black comedy directed by Lance Oppenheim, whose first narrative feature.

But he's known as a documentarian.

In fact, as you pointed out to us earlier, he has a very anticipated documentary that he co-directed coming out with Nathan Fielder.

uh the way that it's very chaotic and yeah

crazy

but there are points as well where uh i think that lance oppenheim does very well of like trying to uh visually portray like the psychosis of chris hansen is like it's going down this crazy like uh like a circus hole sort of thing i don't even know how to describe it but it's like this um this tube yeah it's almost like 2001 And I

was also reminded of Red Rooms, the film that came out two years ago that is equally about like looking into screens and having a level of madness and fixation on something that is so taboo and horrible.

Very much looking forward to the adversarial relationship that will be on display in the movie Can You See Everything? It's the highly anticipated documentary.

It's Nathan Fiedler and Lance Oppenheim put together a documentary.

It's 174 minutes long, and it follows the Theranos founder and fraudster Elizabeth Holmes in her final days of freedom before she went to prison.

34 days she allowed the cameras into her home.

Michael, this may be a film.

where directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim get me to leave a film festival, mid-film festival weekend, to go and find a multiplex to see this movie.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know that I

can even believe.

Yeah.

Uh, we are talking about Prime Time, which is the brand new coming out soon to theaters, uh, black comedy directed by Lance Oppenheim, his first narrative feature.

Mm-hmm.

But he's known as a documentarian.

Pattinson steals the show and is probably gonna be up for an Oscar this year.

You see how this looks, right? I also have to say that Lance Oppenheim's direction here is really top notch, especially when you consider this is his narrative feature debut.

He has a very impressive command of tone.

There's a lot of times when this movie is very funny, despite sort of the ickiness of the situation.
