Julianne Moore Will Play Sarah Palin In Game Change
Here’s an interesting little bit of casting news: Julianne Moore, who recently gave a Golden Globe-nominated turn as a lesbian mom in The Kids are All Right, is set to play Sarah Palin in the upcoming HBO movie Game Change.
The movie is based on Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime – Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s book about the 2008 presidential election, when Palin quickly became one of the most talked-about women in the United States after being tapped as John McCain‘s running mate.
It’s an interesting casting choice, given Moore doesn’t quite look like the former Governor, but we’re interested to see what she does with the role (and whether she’ll be able master Palin’s distinctive accent).
Do you agree with the choice? If not, whom would you have liked to see play Palin instead? (First person to say “Tina Fey” gets to be dropped from a helicopter, directly onto an Alaskan moose.)
