Chris Hansen was turned away from a advance screening of the A24 film Primetime after he refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Variety reported Hansen said he refused to surrender his rights to view the film. Deadline reported that Hansen was not required to sign away his rights, but instead rejected a standard non-disclosure agreement.
The Hollywood Reporter noted that Hansen raised doubts about Hollywood's motive with the upcoming film Primetime. The film features actor Robert Pattinson. Hansen stated he wanted Denis Leary, rather than Robert Pattinson, to depict him in the film project.
