While Chris Hansen intended to keep an open mind about A24‘s Primetime, he’s also apparently open to legal action.

The former To Catch a Predator host recently revealed he was given some legal advice that he could have “a decent case” against the Lance Oppenheim-helmed thriller, which premieres Sept. 25 in theaters, but he doesn’t want to give the movie free publicity.

“People are looking at it,” he said on SiriusXM’s The Dan Abrams Show. “I don’t know. One guy told me, somebody who’s very, very good at all this and very entrenched in entertainment law, he said, ‘You know, you can do that, and you probably have a decent case. How much time do you want to spend doing it?’”

Hansen continued, “And the thought process here is that, if you protest it too much, do they turn it into a promotional situation where, ‘this is the movie Chris Hansen doesn’t want you to see.’ Well, in reality, it’s the movie Chris Hansen hasn’t even seen yet, so it’s a hard question to answer.”

With Robert Pattinson portraying him in the film, Hansen explained his “ethical” issues with the use of his name and the names of his colleagues and family members for a movie that he presumes to be “fiction.”

“It feels very exploitive to me,” added Hansen. “It feels sneaky and disingenuous to me that they would do this and not even say, ‘This is what we’re doing.’”

Hansen’s latest comments come after he purchased ad space before upcoming screenings of the film to promote his true-crime streaming network TruBlu, where he continues his sting investigations.

After Hansen recently confirmed he’s “going to see” the movie, following an invite from the production team to a private screening, he appeared last week on Fox News, claiming he was asked to sign “a very restrictive agreement” to attend the advanced screening. “I’ve never seen anything quite like it,” he said.

“The lawyers at A24 wanted me to sign away my rights to my name, image and brand essentially, as well as any potential legal rights that would come out of the movie,” added Hansen. “I couldn’t sign that, so they didn’t show me the film. I went all the way over there.”

The form was an NDA that all preview audiences are asked to sign a week in advance to view in an unreleased film, in order to prevent spoilers and protect IP. Hansen reportedly refused to sign, and therefore, wasn’t allowed to screen the film.

Premiering Sept. 25 in theaters, Primetime follows Chris Hansen (Pattinson) as he attempts to make television history with NBC’s To Catch a Predator (2004-’07), a hidden camera show that set up stings for adult men seeking sex from minors online.

SPOILER ALERT: This post contains details on Big Brother Season 28, Episode 25, which aired on Thursday, August 27.

CBS is celebrating 1,000 episodes of Big Brother by taking away the live feeds from fans as a massive twist plays out in the house.

At the end of the celebratory episode, which saw the seventh housemate evicted, host Julie Chen Moonves delivered news of an “unprecedented twist.”

Moonves said the remaining players would be transported to medieval times, to the year 1000, which would “challenge the houseguests socially and competitively.” For the twist, there would be no Head of Household, no Veto Competition, and no Block Buster, adding, “But when all is said and done, someone’s game will come to an end before the next live eviction.”

A sneak peek of the competition featured four Big Brother alums atop a medieval castle, which included Britney Haynes (BB12 & BB14), Tiffany Mitchell (BB23), Cody Calafiore (BB16 & BB22), and Keanu Soto (BB27).

To keep the competition under wraps, the live feeds would be “down for the next three days” until after Sunday (August 30) night’s episode, with Moonves suggesting, “Put your screens away, go outside, smell the flowers. The feeds will return after Sunday’s show.”

The live feeds are one of the major components of Big Brother that make the franchise unique, and with the feeds down, it’s sure to leave some fans disgruntled. On top of that, some viewers pay a Paramount+ subscription to enjoy the live feeds, and having them shut off for this twist is inconvenient.
