The road to a post-sweep premiere date for Nightline: Two Truths And A Lie had been in the works for a while. Certainly since Nightline was bumped from its longtime nightly perch to 12:30 AM when ABC shifted Jimmy Kimmel Live! into the traditional late-night talk show slot at 11:30. The new weekly hourlong show will air at 10 PM beginning May 29 and is billed as a “survival guide to the modern consumer jungle”, offering “a mix of compelling undercover investigations and lively dispatches separating fact from fiction about how you spend your money”. Nightline’s Cynthia McFadden and Bill Weir will co-anchor, with reports from ABC News correspondents. Jeanmarie Condon is executive producer, and David Scott is senior broadcast producer.

‘Zero Dark Thirty’ Filmmakers Deny Claims White House Provided Classified Info
Director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal said in an interview to air tonight on ABC’s Nightline that no classified documents were used in the making of Zero Dark Thirty, which details the Navy SEAL mission that killed Osama bin Laden. The pair told ABC News’ Martha Raddatz that claims they received top-secret help from the Obama administration on the details of the raid came down to partisan politics. “I certainly did a lot of homework, but I never asked for classified materials; to my knowledge, I never received any”, Boal said. “And I think as far as the controversy goes, you know, how can I put this — it was an election year. It was surreal and bizarre to have … I mean there were major players in the Republican Party characterizing the script and the movie before I had written a word, and I found that just really baffling”.

Boal did tell Nightline that he spoke to people with intimate knowledge of the Navy SEAL mission, including some in the military and the CIA, but that their identities are shielded in the film. “They were proud of what they had done, but they had more or less resigned themselves to the fact that what they had done is not something they could talk about publicly,” he said. “But one of the things a movie allows people to do is talk in a way that is a little bit freer because they know that movies can change the way people look, [and] that I don’t have quite the same standards of having to reveal sources as I would if I was, let’s say, running a front-page piece in the New York Times.” Read More »
