Chris Hansen, former host of To Catch a Predator, said he did not view an advance screening of the film Primetime during an appearance on a Fox News program Thursday. According to Hansen, he traveled to A24’s offices for a private viewing but left without watching the film after objecting to contractual terms presented by the studio’s legal team.
Hansen claimed that A24 requested he sign an agreement relinquishing rights to his name, image, and brand, along with potential legal claims related to the movie. He characterized the document as unusually restrictive and stated he was unwilling to accept its terms. A24 indicated to media outlets that the agreement in question was a standard non-disclosure agreement required of all preview audiences to prevent spoilers and protect intellectual property.
When discussing the incident on air, Hansen noted that his legal representatives had reviewed the NDA before his visit. He expressed uncertainty about the studio’s specific concerns and indicated that other individuals had viewed the film without signing equivalent agreements. Hansen maintained that he had not yet formed an opinion about Primetime itself, as he had not seen it.
Primetime stars Robert Pattinson as the Dateline NBC correspondent and examines the production, ethical issues, and media aspects of To Catch a Predator, which aired from 2004 to 2007. The film is directed by Lance Oppenheim and features an ensemble cast including Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, and others. The movie is scheduled for theatrical release on Sept. 25.
