Pattinson Is Not The Only Reason To Be Excited About Primetime
Oppenheim Has Shown Promise Too
Given Pattinson’s great track record in independent films, he alone is enough to makePrimetimean immensely exciting project. The film’s potential for success gets higher, however, when considering the contributions from director Oppenheim. Through his work on the Sundance feature documentarySome Kind of Heavenand the talked-aboutHBO docuseriesRen Faire, Oppenheim has displayed his knack for portraying interesting subcultures. Taking this interest into a fictional crime film could lead to some fascinating character explorations, especially when aided byPattinson.
