FILM ON U.S. SUPREME COURT'S SAME-SEX MARRIAGE RULING
20th Century Fox has secured the rights to make a movie about the Supreme Court case that effectively legalised same-sex marriage. The studio said it has bought the life rights of Ohio's Jim Obergefell, the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit that last month resulted in recognition of the right to same-sex marriage in the United States. It also bought his lawyer Al Gerhardstein's life rights and screen rights to a book to be co-written by Obergefell.
