Just over a week after the announcement of the Supreme Court's gay marriage ruling, Fox 2000 is rushing out a film that will cover the life of Jim Obergefell.

Obergefell was the named plaintiff in the Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court case that legalized same sex marriage nationwide,

The film will be the latest to market towards gay people and gay-marriage supporters. As the New York Times noted, Fox 2000 hopes to put out a film "with an eye toward the mainstream success of gay-themed films like 'Philadelphia'."

Obergefell married John Arthur in Maryland in 2013, three months before Arthur died. The state of Ohio refused to list Obergefell as his spouse on the death certificate, so Obergefell sued.

According to Variety, in a recent guest column, Obergefell recounted how he and his husband had decided to take on the state of Ohio over its same-sex marriage ban.

“We decided to stand up for our marriage and to no longer accept being treated as second-class citizens,” he said. “We filed suit against the state of Ohio to demand recognition of our lawful, out-of-state marriage on John’s impending death certificate. Our decision, motivated by pain and anger, created a chain of results I never expected."
