We’ve been anxiously awaiting HBO’s original movie Game Change, which is based on the tell-all book about the 2008 presidential campaign by journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, ever since we first learned that Julianne Moore would be tackling the juicy role of Sarah Palin. While her version of the former governor of Alaska is far more subtle than Tina Fey’s wink-laden portrayal on Saturday Night Live (for obvious reasons), the end result is so much more powerful. She is fantastic here. In fact, we almost found ourselves feeling sorry for Palin — particularly in those scenes where she seems to be having a total emotional meltdown — while watching this trailer. Will that sentiment last? We’ll just have to wait until Game Change premieres on March 10th at 9pm to find out.
