Exclusive: We can confirm that Neither Confirm Nor Deny has been acquired for North American distribution by Greenwich Entertainment. The company plans a theatrical release later this year for the documentary about a dramatic incident from the Cold War, which involved an attempt to capture an alluring prize on the ocean floor.
Philip Carter makes his directorial debut with the film, which premiered at Doc NYC last November.
“At the height of the Cold War, the CIA is tasked with an audacious covert mission: recovering a sunken Soviet nuclear submarine from the bottom of the ocean,” notes a description of the documentary. “The mission hangs in the balance as the agency and its activities are caught in a power play between the press and the White House. With firsthand accounts from the principal players, Neither Confirm Nor Deny is a timely look into America’s clandestine underbelly with a long history of questionable tactics.

Warner Bros. Discovery U.K. has exited its investment in start-up U.K. news network Gb News.
In a brief statement, the company said: “Following the merger between Discovery and WarnerMedia earlier this year our portfolio now includes several wholly owned news brands including CNN Worldwide, Tvn Group in Poland and Newshub in New Zealand. In light of this, and our continued evaluation of our global and local investment portfolio, we have exited our investment in Gb News and are no longer shareholders.”
“Discovery was one of the first organisations to invest in Gb News, doing so prior to the creation of Warner Bros. Discovery,” the statement continued. “Gb News has built a growing and loyal audience in its first year, bringing another voice to British news broadcasting, and we wish the management and shareholders the very best in their future endeavours.”

Discovery-backed channel Gb News will launch June 13 in the U.K. with a special program “Welcome to Gb News.”
The channel will be available on Freeview channel 236, Sky HD, Virgin Media HD, YouView channel 236 and Freesat channel 216, besides mobile and online.
Gb News is backed by Discovery and several other mostly non-British based financiers to the tune of £60 million ($82 million). The operation is led by chair Andrew Neil.
Neil helped Rupert Murdoch launch Sky TV back in the late 1980s. He was once an outspoken critic of the BBC when he edited the Murdoch-owned Sunday Times, but later became the one BBC interviewer most feared by British politicians of all stripes. His BBC show was later axed.
Neil leads the evening line-up with the prime time news and interview program “Andrew Neil,” while businesswoman and former “The Apprentice” winner Michelle Dewberry will host “Dewbs & Co” every weeknight.
