Chris Hansen Contemplating Legal Action Against Primetime Makers
Hansen praised Pattinson’s trailer performance but said the film is fiction and questioned a rights waiver request at A24’s offices.
- Former To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen is criticizing the upcoming A24 film Primetime, starring Robert Pattinson, and purchased advertising for his TruBlu streaming network before screenings.
- Last week, Hansen alleged that A24 barred him from a private screening after he refused to sign a document surrendering his rights to his name, image, and brand, characterizing the demand as "Hollywood exploitation."
- While calling Pattinson's performance "overly dramatic," Hansen admitted the actor delivers a "pretty good" imitation, though he stressed the film remains a "work of fiction" and not an accurate portrayal of his real life.
- When asked by Dan Abrams about potential legal action, Hansen said "people are looking at it," while warning that protesting the film could inadvertently turn it into promotional material for the studio.
- Directed by Lance Oppenheim, the film arrives in theaters on September 25th; Hansen also revealed he previously crafted a script years ago, suggesting actor Dennis Leary would have been a suitable lead.
