Ed Harris To Play John McCain In HBO Film

Ed Harris has reportedly signed on to play Arizona Senator John McCain in an upcoming HBO original film called "Game Change." The film will focus on McCain's 2008 presidential campaign with former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

Harris joins Julianne Moore in the film, who has previously confirmed the role of Sarah Palin. The film will directed by Jay Roach, who is perhaps best known for directing HBO's movie about the 2000 presidential election "Recount."

While speaking with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Palin opened up about the film. Hannity suggested that perhaps Demi Moore or Courtney Cox would have been a better choice than Julianne Moore.

"Well, I'm absolutely flattered that you would say that. But, no, I don't know. I think I'll just grit my teeth and bear whatever comes what may with that movie," Palin responded.

"Game Change" will be based on John Heilemann and Mark Halperin's book of the same name and "Recount" writer Danny Strong will provide the script.

Julianne Moore is one ugly broad from a profile view. Whew! Like Brian Williams and Nora O’Donnell.

“Sounds like a perfect chance for HBO to smear Palin, conservatives, and the tea party with this movie.”

I get maybe the motive....but, considering how McCain did in the elections....Why McCain?

It would seem those that will watch this tripe will simply be HBO preaching to the choir.

Well put. Why not a “fascinating” look at the John Kerry/Edwards loss to the EVIL Bush/Cheney team? Or the heart pounding Mondale/Ferraro campaign?

“John Kerry/Edwards loss to the EVIL Bush/Cheney team”

Let's not mention the drama when they networks declared Florida's polls closed whey in fact the panhandle is in a separate time zone, then the faux indignation by them over the misconception that Florida was doing something evil by leaving polls open in a mostly Conservative portion of the state.....the panhandle.

I don't believe MSM apologized for the misconception to the viewers.

I’ve read that Ed Harris is pretty far out there in left field. That’s what we were referring to.

I thought maybe you were jokingly confusing the title with the old movie, “Glen or Glenda” by Ed Wood (Plan 9 From Outer Space).
