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 stated that he declined to sign his rights away to see the picture. Deadline reported that Hansen was not required to give up legal rights, but instead declined to agree to a standard non-disclosure agreement.
The Hollywood Reporter noted that Hansen raised doubts about Hollywood's motive with the upcoming film Primetime. The film stars actor Robert Pattinson. Hansen expressed a desire for Denis Leary, not Robert Pattinson, to depict him in the dramatic role.
