Chris Hansen was denied entry to a special showing of the A24 film Primetime after he declined to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Variety reported Hansen said he refused to surrender his rights to view the film. Deadline reported that Hansen was not required to give up legal rights, but instead rejected a standard non-disclosure agreement.
The Hollywood Reporter indicated that Hansen challenged Hollywood's motive behind the movie Primetime. The film is led by actor Robert Pattinson. Hansen said he wanted Denis Leary, instead of Robert Pattinson, to depict him in the dramatic role.
