Chris Hansen claims A24 wouldn't show him Primetime unless he signed away his rights

The incident, in which the To Catch A Predator host tried to watch the movie about his stardom, apparently happened within the past week.

Chris Hansen claims A24 wouldn't show him Primetime unless he signed away his rights

Chris Hansen appeared on Jesse Waters' Primetime on Fox News, claiming that A24 refused to show him the upcoming movie Primetime unless he signed away his rights to his name, image, and brand. He was at the screening of the film about his show To Catch A Predator, but A24 demanded he sign an extensive non-disclosure agreement (NDA), something he refused to do.

A24 has denied Hansen's version of events, stating that he was asked to sign a standard NDA, which is common practice at preview screenings. Hansen's lawyers had reviewed the document before he visited, advising him against signing. Hansen feels the agreement was overly restrictive and had not been consulted before the process was so far along.

He questions why A24 didn't inform him about the NDA earlier. The timing of this incident is significant for Hansen, who feels A24 should have disclosed the NDA sooner.
