Sarah Palin is getting the movie treatment with HBO Films' Game Change. Oscar-nominated actress Julianne Moore will portray the former Alaska governor in the project, which will chronicle Palin's burst into the national scene as a surprise vice presidential candidate in 2008. Directing Game Change is Jay Roach, director of the Meet the Parents movies as well as the HBO film Recount, which examined the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election with a focus on the Florida recount.
Game Change is based on Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s book about the 2008 presidential elections and follows John McCain’s campaign from his selection of Palin as his running mate to their ultimate defeat in the general election.
Danny Strong, who previously wrote the Roach-directed Recount, penned the script for Game Change. Roach is executive producing, with Strong co-executive producing.
So far, Palin has been most famously portrayed on TV by Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live. Palin herself works a contributor on Fox News Channel and became a reality TV star with her limited series, Sarah Palin's Alaska, which ran on TLC to sold ratings.

The Empire Strikes back!!!
“Game Change” savages Palin with innuendo, gossip, and unnamed sources in order to portray her as some sort of supreme head case and diva.....which she is not but that is the medias narrative and they will stick with that.
I wonder is Julianna will clean a fish or dress a deer or do ya think they will have a stunt double?
Tina didn’t get the part? She must be crushed.
Julianne Moore is a hard core leftist skank.
naah...but they’ll make sure she prances around shopping for high-end clothing.....on the campaign dollar.../s
I’d be on the phone right now canceling HBO , except that I already did it nearly ten years ago when the last decent thing they produced, Band Of Brothers, ended.
The stupid fools who watch Obama TV support this crap. Keep watching and enabling your enemies. Dopes. But granny likes TCM and Bill O’Reilly.
* * * UNOFFICIAL POLL * * * Q: What do you think about the upcoming? HBO movie about Sarah Palin and the 2008 Election [_] It will be an honest, truthful, insightful show. [_] It will be a shameless Liberal Hollywood character assassination.
Band of Brothers was liberals and Obama supporters Spielberg and Hanks making money off and profiteering off dead heroes. Hanks and Spielberg are scum.
I'd watch it if it was Peyton List instead of that old liberal Julianne Moore...
whos gonna play larry sinclair or donald young or the lt harris who killed as well from passport records. or frnks davis or bill ayers
I’m sure that this movie will be a completely honest and above board portrayal/s.
Any relation to Michael Moore?
I hear that Charlie Sheen turned down the “John McCain” part and kept insisting that he was a perfect “Hillary”
