A24 required Chris Hansen to waive legal rights to attend his own onscreen depiction's preview

A24's lawyers required Chris Hansen to forfeit rights to his name, image, brand, and any legal claims to attend an advance screening of "Primetime," the Lance Oppenheim-directed thriller starring Robert Pattinson as Hansen, opening 25 September. Hansen refused and has not seen the film. He called the demand unlike anything he has encountered in four decades in television (Variety, 20 August).
