this information shared with filmmaker katherine bigelow. first, do we know, has bigelow been to washington? has she been to the pentagon for this film? >> reporter: what we know is officials are telling us that katherine bigelow, the award winning director of that movie the hurt locker about the war in iraq has spoken with administration officials about her team's new project to make a movie about the raid that killed osama bin laden. she, by all accounts, has had some meetings, has talked to people about it. what we are told here at the pentagon is her project is still, we're talking hollywood, in the development phase. she doesn't have a script yet or specifics yet. she's developing the project, possibly developing the script to go ahead and make the movie. not unusual. there is right down the hall from where we broadcast here in the pentagon, maybe 20 steps away, is a hollywood liaison office, which works with filmmakers, with television networks that want to make programs or movies about the u.s. military, works with them to give them a

it will be directed by kathryn bigelow who did "the hurt locker." peter king, chairman of the house homeland security committee wants an investigation. he wrote to the cia and the defense department questioning why the white house is cooperating with hollywood. >> i want the inspector-general to assure me and assure the congress there's enough precautions in place to make sure no sensitive or classified information is going to be revealed. >> the obama administration is dismissing keith's claim and says no sensitive information is being released. >> the most specific information we've given from this white house about the actual raid i read to you from this podium. so it's just simply false. >> the movie is expected to be released in october of next year, one month before the presidential election. >>> and what sounds like the end to a hollywood movie, the nationwide manhunt to capture the dougherty gang ended in colorado yesterday with a high-speed chase and shoot-out. florida officials say the trio will be brought back to the sunshine state and "b

script that were made at the last minute, breaking an artistic agreement between the pentagon and bigelowlestinian refugee camp in jordan taking a u.s. american humvee vehicle with an american flag on it into that refugee camp in order to shoot angry crowd scenes. also she depicted american service members abusing detainees. that was not in the original script, so it's not clear at this point in time why the pentagon, white house and cia are cooperating with bigelow when the pentagon, at least, had a bad experience the last time around. megyn: wow. there's that, and there's the release date controversy which i guess maureen dowd knows more than a lot of folks on that because that hasn't been widely reported. but, jennifer, thank you. i appreciate it. >>> a controversial medical breakthrough. a simple blood test can now tell would-be parents the sex of their baby just seven weeks after conception. what about the ethics of that? >>> and this american woman vanished in the same town in aruba where natalee holloway was last seen. but there is one big difference. in three minutes, the new deta

right now if you ask me it's fake outrage and stupid outrage over the idea because their counter bigelow is making a film about osama bin ladin and so now there are allegations because of one reports that somebody met the screenwriter may have met somebody wrote about it they may i can totally messing this up let's just play the clip and i could in fact the nation. for the making of a movie that will bring the bin laden raid to life is causing some controversy in washington this after reports surfaced that the administration greenlighted access to the elite navy seals who took out related access by the. way but well ok so peter king now wants an investigation and republicans are up in arms and they're so angry and it's not fake totally oh oh god over there is going on what do you allegories about first of all there's not even any real proof right was one thing that perhaps the screenwriter was at one event that is me and they greenlighted access to classified documents and classified information as peter king is trying to argue put the bigger point is that i'm sorry the pentagon it works

katherine bigelow in her office issued a statement here today.cating that they were going to look at the history of searching for osama bin laden all the way back into the bush administration. it extends back into the clinton administration. no evidence they are getting access at this point to any classified information. it might be worth remembering. the pentagon even helped make the transformer movies. >> they have an office at the pentagon that deals with motion pictures. that's all they do. thanks for that. jack cafferty has the cafferty file and jeannie moos looks at a controversial magazine cover speaks foreign language ]ute [ male announcer ] in here, everyone speaks the same language. ♪ in here, forklifts drive themselves. no, he doesn't have it. yeah, we'll look on that.

but let me tell you what kathryn bigelow, the directer and the producer of this movie says.her, a quote from her. she says: alisyn: does she have a point, that this is just about an american victory, it's not partisan? >> well, it is an american victory. the elimination of bin laden was the culmination of years of pain staking work by the defense department, by our intelligence agencies. it was a major step forward in the war on terrorism. but, again, i come back to the point of the release date. and if it's not a prettial ploy, then there should be no problem in releasing the film later to avoid these criticisms. and i also think congressman king has a point in raising questions about what kind of information will be released to these producers because of what we saw right after the bin laden raid. we saw tremendous leaks, they were damaging leaks, they may have resulted in people being arrested in the pakistan who were helping our intelligence agencies. we saw criticism from former secretary of defense gates, from admiral mccraven who was in charge of the bin laden raid. s

she said the white house is counting on the katherine bigelow and mark bowles big screen viewing of bin laden to counter obama's growing reputation. the movie is expected to open on october 12, 2012. perfectly timed to give a home stretch boost to a campaign that's grown tougher. is the obama campaign relying on hollywood to save it in the end? >> you're no hollywood guy. you know that would be a bad strategy to hitch our wagon to that. the truth is i didn't know about this movie until i read about it in maureen's column. maureen is a great friend of mine and a really talented writer. she pays a lot of attention to that stuff. i don't. the thing that's going to animate this campaign is when you have a choice. the choice is between candidates with starkly different views about how we build a better future, how we secure the middle class in this country. i don't think those who value that in our country are going to find much comfort in what they hear in this building tonight. and i look forward to the debate. a great debate. it can win because a majority of americans share our view on th

>> well, it is made by kathryn bigelow and you might recognize the name from the "hurt locker."ell, the chairman of the homeland security is asking for investigation of what kind of facts the producers may have gotten from the government about this film? i will summarize the white house's response for you, and they said, it is ridiculous that we would have passed along classified information and of course we won't do that and if we are presented with pointed questions that we can confirm the truth or not or set somebody straight, that is one thing, but we are not passing along secrets here, and that is basically what is being alleged. >> and this is coming from congressman peter king from new york. >> and yes, that is right. this movie curiously, and this is something that people should know is in the works for years and not something that came about the same time that osama bin laden was captured, but it has been in the works for quite some time and you will not learn anything in the film that we don't already know. it does not work that way. >> and next step is rebecca black,

you may remember that katherine bigelow was the director and producer, i believe, on the other highlyovie, it's escaping my memory. >> "the hurt locker". >> right. and she's been working on the usama bin laden movie for sometime. she was working on it before he was captured and now has had to change the story line but ironically it's coming out october of 2012. why is that important? because november is the election for the presidency of the united states. >> yes, coming out three weeks before the election and remember, the bin laden raid was one of the biggest moments in this administration's history thus far. i mean, the administration would really like a movie that shows a positive president obama really in charge doing those gutsy moves. now, here's the problem. gretch just mentioned that congressman king is very upset because apparently, there are -- and he sent a letter to the pentagon and the c.i.a. saying hey, did you let these filmmakers in on any secrets? now, maureen dowd writes that apparently, the filmmakers did have access to classified information. she wrote that in "th

preventing sensitive information from -- megyn: and can't they strike a deal, i mean, with kathryn bigelow know, behind the oscar-winning film "the hurt locker" saying we're going to help you, but we're not going to reveal sources and meths, and we want to see -- [inaudible conversations] >> professional people can do this, because they do it all the time. and it's always a question of compromise because, quite honestly, what works really good in a movie is normally not what really happened because what happened normally isn't as visually interesting as what's done in a movie. sometimes the military walks away from projects. that's happened before as well. i think we need to be concerned about not the professional people doing their job, it's whether the political people put undue pressure to release information which might not be the right thing to do. megyn: bill, congressman king seems to be concerned that classified information may have been shared. the white house has denied that. is that, can the white house release classified information to movie makers if it wants to? can it declas
