The Washington Post: The TV Column: HBO announces new McCain/Palin film, ‘Game Change’
Julianne Moore is going to play Sarah Palin in HBO’s new flick about Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign.
You might know Moore from her co-starring role in the Oscar-nominated flick “The Kids Are All Right” (she has also starred in films such as “A Single Man” and “An Ideal Husband”). On TV, Moore played Nancy Donovan — high school crush of NBC suit Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) — on NBC’s “30 Rock.”
“Game Change,” based on Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s 2010 book about the 2008 elections, follows the Arizona senator’s presidential bid from the time of his selection of then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate to their November defeat.
The project reunites members of the team behind HBO’s flick “Recount,” which was about the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election. Danny Strong, who wrote “Recount,” has written the “Game Change” script. And Jay Roach, “Recount” director, also will direct “Game Change.”
