Predator Hunter Hansen Ads Play Before His Biopic

Moviegoers attending the premiere of "Primetime," a film depicting the investigative work of Chris Hansen, will encounter the real Hansen himself through pre-show advertisements. These spots are appearing on every screen showing the A24 release. The advertisements are designed to direct audiences to TruBlu, Hansen's dedicated streaming network for predator investigations.

The film, which explores Hansen's signature method of luring and confronting suspected sex predators on camera, had its world premiere on September 5 at the Venice International Film Festival. "Primetime" is scheduled for a wider release on September 25.

Hansen has publicly stated he declined an invitation to view the film due to an agreement requirement that would prohibit legal action against A24. Sources indicate Hansen is currently consulting with legal counsel concerning his available options following the film's release.

In the interim, Hansen is leveraging the heightened attention by running a variation of his famous catchphrase in the pre-show ads. These commercials, set in a kitchen reminiscent of his investigations, encourage viewers to join him undercover on his streaming network, TruBlu, which features continuous predator investigations and true-crime content.
