NEW YORK — Julianne Moore is set to play former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in an upcoming TV film.

HBO Films said Wednesday that Moore will star in the film "Game Change," which follows John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign from when he chose Palin as his running mate through their defeat in the general election.

The film is based on the bestselling book of the same name.

I wonder if she’s actually going to meet Sarah Palin?

[smokingfrog]

What was the book like?

[blackdog]

Real woman, redhead hottie!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They need to have a bunch of things Tina Fey said and treat them like Sarah Palin said them.

To make it authentic.

Transparent hit piece strategically times to damage her.

[relictele]

Palin is a gorgeous, vibrant, well-built woman.

Moore is a typical dried-up malnourished Hollywood wisp whose one-trick-pony ‘acting’ consists of narrowed eyes and stage whispered lines. Apparently this denotes emotion but it’s hard to tell as she does the exact same thing in every role, every film.

It will, of course, be a hit piece destined to fail the old SLAPS (Serious Literary, Artistic, Political, Scientific) value test previously applied to pornography.

Moore has an interesting background...she was born at Fort Bragg. Her father was a military lawyer, judge, helicopter pilot, and army colonel.

[DTogo]

Sarah’s got giggity, Julianne does not.

[pallis]

On her best day Julianne wishes she could look as good as Sarah.

[CaptainK]

If they stick close to the book they'll have to cast Jesus Christ as Obama.

[hobbes1]

Tina Fey wasn’t available?

[Jack Hammer]

I really have to say that in all my sixty years on Earth, I have NEVER seen the media even nearly as obsessed with a politician as they are with Sarah.

Very strange.

[GQuagmire]

Would I kick Moore out of the sack for eating crackers in it? No.

However in the giggety dept., Sarah wins by a landslide...

[SgtHooper]

Agreed. This can’t be good. It just has to be a “Michael Moore” type hit piece. But hey, it might backfire, should it be as I expect.

[Lazlo in PA]

She is attractive, but one of the worst actresses around. Besides being Box Office poison, she is a wooden, one dimensional dud. Look back at some of her work in the last couple years. Except for maybe Blindness, she stunk.

[IronJack]

Julianne Moore is a John Kerry lefty and you can expect this to be a Fey-esque hatchet job.

[safeasthebanks]

Woo Hoo, Amber Waves lives!

[freekitty]

Why?
