The Great Pre Release Power Play: A24's Tense Tango with Chris Hansen Chris Hansen, a veteran journalist and former host of Dateline NBC's "To Catch a Predator," has alleged that indie production studio and distributor A24 attempted to strong arm him into signing away his rights in exchange for watching an early screening of their upcoming film, Primetime.
According to Hansen, A24 presented him with a non disclosure agreement (NDA) on the day of the screening, which he claims was designed to prevent spoilers and safeguard the studio's interests.
A standard NDA is not unusual, but A24's tactics are noteworthy.
