Chris Hansen is sounding off about the new movie being made about his hit show “To Catch a Predator,” questioning Hollywood’s motives and expressing frustration that he wasn’t involved in the creative process. He suspects they’re using his name for profit, not authenticity, and wouldn’t have chosen Robert Pattinson to play him — preferring Denis Leary. While he won’t judge the film until he sees it at a private screening next week, he’s determined to stay true to himself, not the cinematic version. The show, which ran from 2004 to 2007 and ended after legal fallout including a tragic suicide linked to one of its stings, remains a cultural touchstone — and now, Hansen’s real-life story is being reimagined on screen without his input.
