Ed Harris and Julianne Moore as McCain & Palin? I like it...During the 2008 Presidential Election, Republican candidate John McCain announced that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin would be his running mate and shocked the world. In the trailer for the new HBO drama Game Change, the character Steve Schmidt (Woody Harrelson) says putting Palin on the McCain ticket will be the "game changer" the Republican party needs to secure the presidency. Of course, we all know how that one ended.
Wonderfully gifted actors Ed Harris and Julianne Moore step in to portray McCain and Palin in this interesting film directed by Jay Roach (Meet the Parents, Austin Powers) that will air on HBO sometime in March 2012. As entertaining as it was to watch this whole thing play out back in 2008, I think seeing it again as film adaptation will be even more enjoyable. In fact, the film is based on a book of the same name (Game Change) that was written by journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, which reportedly came from the Republican point of view during these events.
My interest is definitely piqued by this project, and I look forward to watching it on HBO next year. I don't think anyone needs to be all that politically savvy to enjoy this movie. Check out the trailer.

I don’t know if HBO can Sell Sarah better than she sells herself. Just when we thought she her starlight was fading, this opportunistic movie may push Palin back into the spotlight depending on how she is portrayed. How does America’s Top MILF do it? She’s cut-throat when it comes to her money and you can see just how scandalous she’ll get for the cash with The Ecstasy of Sarah Palin at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/06/ecstasy-of-sarah-palin_15.html
