Julianne Moore cast as Sarah Palin In HBO movie 'Game Change'

[RamboLiberal]

Julianne Moore is getting fit for claws -- she's about to play Sarah Palin, the Mama Grizzly herself.

HBO Films announced on Wednesday that the actress will take on the role of Sarah Palin in its film adaptation of the 2008 election tell all book, "Game Change," written by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann. Moore is the first member of the cast, which will feature screen versions of the top players in the election, such as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

The book spilled deep, sometimes damaging secrets and quotes from the high-tension campaign trail, including Obama and then-running mate Joe Biden's distant relationship, the Clintons' original distaste for Obama and the fallout from McCain's choice of Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate.

In one such story, McCain adviser Steve Schmidt was quoted telling Palin's foreign policy advisers that, after testing the candidate before a debate, "You guys have a lot of work to do. She doesn't know anything."
