Chris Hansen Claims A24 Withheld ‘Primetime’ Screening After He Refused to Sign Away Rights

Chris Hansen has alleged that A24 withheld a screening of Robert Pattinson's film "Primetime" when he declined to sign away his rights. During an interview with Fox News' Jesse Watters, Hansen stated that he was not allowed to view the movie at 10 AM in A24's offices due to the lawyers demanding he give up his name, image, and brand rights.

Hansen explained that he could not agree to such restrictive terms and subsequently missed out on seeing the film. He noted that his lawyers had already reviewed the agreement, describing it as "very restrictive." When questioned by Watters about A24's concern for his reaction, Hansen jokingly remarked, "I don't know. I haven't seen the film.

But, if you look at the trailer, it's obviously a very dramatized version." Hansen stressed that he had no financial interest in the movie, asserting that he was simply a reporter who had learned about the situation. He further revealed that he had been informed of the issue while the film was still in production. Hansen also hinted at the possibility of eventually seeing the film, saying, "I may still get a chance to see it." A24's spokesperson declined to comment on the matter at the time of the interview.
