Chris Hansen was barred from a advance screening of the A24 film Primetime after he refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Variety reported Hansen said he refused to give up his rights to see the picture. Deadline reported that Hansen was not required to sign away his rights, but instead declined to agree to a standard non-disclosure agreement.
The Hollywood Reporter indicated that Hansen challenged Hollywood's motive regarding the project Primetime. The film stars actor Robert Pattinson. Hansen stated he wanted Denis Leary, not Robert Pattinson, to depict him in the film project.
