HBO starts production of its latest political movie, Game Change, on Wednesday and the first picture of its star, Julianne Moore, dressed up in Sarah Palin drag was released today. Gone is Moore's famous red tresses, replaced with Palin's brown hair (and famous updo). What do we think, does she pull it off?
The movie, from the same team as 2008's Recount (director Jay Roach and writer Danny Strong), has lined up an interesting cast including Ed Harris as John McCain, Woody Harrelson as McCain's advisor Steve Schmidt, Temple Grandin's Melissa Farman as Bristol Palin, CSI's Larry Sullivan as Palin's deputy chief of staff Chris Edwards, and Trauma's Jamey Sheridan as McCain's speechwriter Mark Salter.
