Chris Hansen Blocked From His Own Movie | Mobile News

Chris Hansen, the real-life host of “To Catch a Predator,” was denied an early screening of the new A24 movie “Primetime” — which stars Robert Pattinson as him — because the studio demanded he sign an extreme NDA that would strip him of rights to his name, image, and legal recourse. His lawyers advised against signing without them present, and while others at the screening weren’t asked to sign such a deal, Hansen was turned away. He also wasn’t consulted on the film or financially involved, calling the trailer “dramatic” — a mild word for the intense subject matter. The movie, directed by Lance Oppenheim, chronicles Hansen’s work during the controversial NBC series, highlighting how even public figures can be legally sidelined when their story hits the big screen.
