After an incredible two weekend of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire being in theaters and racking up plenty of box office dollars, Lionsgate is reportedly eyeing another female-centric feature but this time it's a biopic. Easily one of the most influential female politicians in recent years, Hilary Clinton is getting her own movie about her formative years before getting married to Bill Clinton. In Rodham we'll get to see a new side of the hopeful Presidential candidate and former first lady.

Deadline has provided a report and a brief synopsis of the film:

"The mini-major is in early talks to back Rodham, a feature about the formative years of former First Lady and Secretary State and potential presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. No actress has yet been set to play Clinton, but several prominent ones are circling ...

"This is the project that James Ponsoldt wants to make his directorial follow-up to The Spectacular Now, based on the Black List script by Young Il Kim. Produced by Temple Hill partners Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, Rodham covers Hillary when she was a hotshot young lawyer in D.C. and was torn between flourishing in Capitol Hill or going back to Arkansas to rekindle a relationship with her ex-boyfriend, a law teacher named Bill Clinton, who didn't want to leave home."
