A walk down Super Size Me memory lane. By Teddy Kim
Stay Tuned is a Feed Me guest column about film and entertainment, written by Teddy Kim.
Strange things are happening in theatrical marketing. Chris Hansen reportedly bought pre-show advertising for his streaming network TruBlue to run ahead of every screening of the upcoming Lance Oppenheim/Robert Pattinson film, Primetime, which is based on Hansen and his old show To Catch a Predator. Although he was apparently not able to put in an explicit disclaimer about the movie itself, I have to imagine the effect might be similarly deflating: a reminder of the “real” figure just before you see the movie version of the man and the story.
