Conservative organization Citizens United is moving forward with plans to produce a documentary about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

According to the report, the film will air in theaters, in addition to television broadcasts and a DVD release. The project, set for a 2016 release, will focus on Clinton's tenure at the State Department.

In 2010, Citizens United was at the center of a Supreme Court case over its 2008 film on Clinton. In Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the high court ruled in a 5-4 decision that banning the film from the airwaves on the grounds that the film was political advertising was a violation of the First Amendment.

David Bossie, the group's chairman, said that ruling allowed him to "do whatever I want" with his new Clinton project.

"This is why I went to the Supreme Court,” he said. “Now that I won that case, I can do whatever I want with this new movie. I can advertise it on radio and TV, show it on TV whenever I want to — all the things they stopped us from doing with 'Hillary: The Movie.'”

3. Oh David Bossie... One of the most vile beings on the planet.

He was Cong. Dan Burton's insane assistant during the Clinton impeachment efforts and David appeared on television regularly to explain how Bill or Hillary killed Vince Foster.

Advance seat purchases by Moviephone are obviously highly recommended.
