Key Points:

- A source told Deadline that Hansen was not asked to sign away such rights but was required to sign a standard NDA, common for preview audiences, to prevent spoilers and protect intellectual property.
- Hansen reportedly refused to sign the NDA, which led to him being denied access to the screening.
- Primetime, directed by Lance Oppenheim and starring Robert Pattinson as Hansen, chronicles the making of the To Catch a Predator series and is set to premiere in theaters on September 25.
- Hansen had previously confirmed plans to attend a private screening of the film following an invitation from the production team.
