New Trailer For HBO's 'Game Change'

We’ve already ventured into eerie territory when Julianne Moore and Ed Harris have had the miracle of prosthetics transform them into Sarah Palin and John McCain, respectively.  As much as Palin has become a polarizing political and cultural figure since the last election, there’s a certain fascination to the 2008 presidential campaign and HBO has capitalized on it with Game Change.  See the trailer below.

“Directed by Emmy winner Jay Roach (Recount), HBO Films’ Game Change follows McCain (played by Ed Harris), Palin (Julianne Moore), and their unsuccessful bid for the White House.  Whereas the first trailer focused more on McCain and his decision to name Palin as his potential VP, the new one centers around Palin and what happens to her after she agrees to board the campaign.”

The trailer is giving us a intriguing insight to the Palin that seems to “neither demonizing nor glorifying her.  It’s plain to see what’s so maddening about this character, but it’s also possible to sympathize with her growing frustration as the stresses of the campaign take their toll on her.”

Can we just give Julianne Moore her Emmy right now?  I mean, it would be cruel to subject her performance to any other female actor in any lead TV movie or Miniseries.  From Recount writer Danny Strong and adapted from the John Heilemann and Mark Halperin bestselling book of the same name. Directed by Jay Roach.

Game Change stars Julianne Moore, Ed Harris, Woody Harrelson, Sarah Paulson and Ron Livingston.  The movie premieres on HBO 10 March 2012.
