First Look at Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin and Ed Harris as John McCain in “Game Change” Trailer [Video]

We first heard about Julianne Moore portraying Sarah Palin in the HBO film Game Change nearly a year ago. Sarah Palin could only muster up sarcasm when talking about the movie, which isn’t surprising considering that it is an adaptation of Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s 2008 presidential election tell-all book that portrays Palin in a terrible and uninformed light.

A year later, and the film’s cast has only grown more impressive.

Check out the following trailer for Game Change; the film premieres on March 10th at 9 p.m. on HBO.
