Chris Hansen says he was turned away after attempting to attend a private screening of A24’s “Primetime,” a thriller directed by Lance Oppenheim and starring Robert Pattinson. Hansen claims the studio wanted him to sign away his rights before he could watch the film, but he left without seeing it.
Deadline reports that a source says Hansen was not asked to “sign away” his rights. Instead, the source characterizes the request as a standard non-disclosure agreement (NDA) tied to viewing the movie. The Hollywood Reporter likewise reports that Hansen did not watch the screening, saying A24 wanted him to sign away his rights, and that he went to the studio’s offices for the screening but departed.
The two accounts differ in how they describe the NDA demand—Hansen frames it as an attempt to transfer or waive his rights, while Deadline’s source describes it as a routine NDA rather than a special requirement to give up rights. Both outlets, however, agree on the basic sequence: Hansen goes to the screening location, leaves, and does not view the film.
