Merritt Wever Regrets Not Taking Her Most Intense ‘Primetime’ Scene Even Further

Merritt Wever says she wishes she had taken one of her most intense scenes in A24’s psychological thriller *Primetime* further. The film follows Chris Hansen’s rise and the controversial *To Catch a Predator* format, while Wever plays producer Andie Bender, who tries to keep the erratic host and the programme on track.

Wever recalled that Robert Pattinson’s choices as Hansen could be unpredictable, so she often responded in the moment rather than planning scenes together. In the confrontation where Chris lies on the floor and Andie shouts at him to get himself together, she felt the dialogue left her little choice but to react. The article’s supplied text cuts off as Wever begins to explain her regrets, so it does not include what she would have changed.
