Chris Hansen Reveals Why He Didn't See Robert Pattinson's Primetime
Former To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen reveals why he walked out of an A24 screening for Robert Pattinson's Primetime after he refused to sign a legal agreement.
Chris Hansen disclosed the reason behind his decision not to view the early screening of Primetime, a film where he is depicted by Robert Pattinson. In an interview with Fox News, Hansen recounted that he was just about to witness the movie when he refused to sign an agreement he perceived as excessively restrictive. "I had never seen anything quite like it," Hansen remarked, detailing the terms demanded by A24.
The lawyers representing A24 sought to have Hansen surrender rights over his name, image, and brand, as well as any potential legal rights that might arise from the film. This demand prompted Hansen to decline the opportunity to screen the film. Despite prior consultation with his attorneys regarding the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), Hansen ultimately could not bring himself to sign it.
He acknowledged that the movie's trailer suggested it was heavily fictionalized, yet A24 insisted that he sign the NDA. However, sources from The Hollywood Reporter clarified that Hansen was asked to sign a standard NDA a week prior to the screening, a requirement for all preview audiences to adhere to when watching unreleased A24 films.
The primary purpose of this NDA was to prevent spoilers and safeguard the studio's intellectual property.
