The Chris Hansen movie "feels very exploitive" to Chris Hansen

And in that case, he doesn’t know that trying to take legal action against A24 is the right thing to do, though “People are looking at it.” He said, “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?'” We won’t pretend we know everything Hansen does with his time, but we will just note that this is the third time he’s been in the press discussing this movie in slightly more than a week.

Deadline also reports that part of the issue Hansen has with the film—and with Robert Pattinson’s portrayal that he hasn’t yet seen—is that he’s not sure the studio is being clear enough that the movie is “fiction” (he assumes). “It feels very exploitive to me,” he said. “It feels sneaky and disingenuous to me that they would do this and not even say, ‘This is what we’re doing.'” And, to make matters worse, if you do go see the movie, you’re going to hear about the virtues of Hansen’s true crime network beforehand.
