Julianne Moore is set to star as Sarah Palin in HBO Films' Game Change. Directed by Jay Roach, the movie is based on Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s 2010 book about the 2008 Presidential elections and follows John McCain’s presidential campaign, from his selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate to their ultimate defeat in the general election.
Danny Strong, who previously wrote the Roach-directed HBO movie Recount, about the aftermath of the 2000 Presidential elections, penned the script for Game Change. Roach is executive producing, with Strong co-executive producing.

omg
I read the book and it was pretty good. XD The dirt the authors dug up on Palin (from the mouths of her own former advisers, etc., and bitter McCain people) was awesomely hilarious.
On that note they might as well get Kellan Lutz to play McCain and Gisele Bunchen to play Bristol.
WHY
roach? this will be a comedy then?
