Hansen Weighs Legal Fight Over Pattinson Film
28 Aug
Summary
- Chris Hansen may sue A24 over the film 'Primetime' starring Robert Pattinson.
- Hansen claims a lawyer advised he has a 'decent case' but he fears free publicity.
- He refused to sign an NDA for a screening, citing concerns over his rights.
Chris Hansen, known for 'To Catch a Predator,' is contemplating legal action against A24's new film, 'Primetime.' The movie, which features Robert Pattinson in the role of Hansen, is set to premiere on September 25. Hansen has indicated that legal counsel suggested he possesses a strong case against the film's production.
Despite this advice, Hansen is wary of pursuing legal action, expressing concerns that it could inadvertently promote the movie. He feels the film is exploitative, using his name and those of his colleagues and family for what he presumes to be fictional content without proper disclosure.
Further complicating matters, Hansen was invited to a private screening of 'Primetime.' However, he reportedly refused to sign a highly restrictive Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) that would have required him to waive rights to his name, image, and potential legal claims related to the film. Consequently, Hansen was denied access to the screening.
