  "account": "Chris Hansen finds the upcoming Primetime movie to be exploitative and deceptive. During a recent interview on The Dan Stevens Show, he revealed that his opposition to the film is driven by a desire to promote his own true crime network. Hansen admitted that he hasn't seen the movie yet, but he is concerned that the studio hasn't clearly labeled the film as fictional. He expressed his unease with Robert Pattinson's portrayal and believes that the movie's promotional efforts may be misleading. Despite the legal possibilities, Hansen is undecided whether pursuing a lawsuit against A24 is worth his time. This is the third time he has spoken about the movie in the press within a week.",
