Julianne Moore As Sarah Palin In 'Game Change' Promo (VIDEO)

Can Julianne Moore play a convincing Sarah Palin? You betcha!

The Oscar-nominee plays the former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential nominee in the upcoming HBO film "Game Change," which chronicles the 2008 election with a special focus on the campaign of Republican John McCain. The film, based on the book "Game Change" written by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, will see Ed Harris play the Arizona Senator and GOP candidate McCain. Woody Harrelson plays adviser Steve Schmidt.

Moore recently told ABC News that while researching for the role, she became disgusted with how modern day political campaigns are run.

"So much is about how do you get on the air, how do you get the most media attention, how do you make the most noise. When, in fact, what we're all looking for is leadership," she said. "We don't want noise. We want people who are going to take care of us."

As for Palin herself, she's also less than enthused by the production.

"I think I'll just grit my teeth and bear whatever comes what may with that movie," she told Fox News.

Does her performance reproduce Palin's 'fingernails-on-chalkboard' effect on listeners? Seriously, regardless of the merits of the film it has about as much chance of box office success as that "Undie-feeted" Palin documentary.

This looks like a really good film. I wonder if anyone will remember who Sarah Palin is come March.

Moore appears to be doing a bang-up job. But honestly, I'd rather watch my child get stitches than sit through anything about SP. It's a shame to have a great performance ignored, but that's what a lot of people like me are going to do. Even if were nothing but a send-up, I don't want to see her or her personal - it's not entertaining, just irritating.

This film will fail miserably ratings wise even if she's great as Palin because nobody wants to see Sarah anymore.

She looks so much like SP that I want to go wash my eyeballs.

I'm sure it will be completely fair to Sarah Palin............riiighhhht. People should not waste their money on this garbage instead go see Sarah Jessica Parker's new movie War Horse. I hear it's pretty good.

Ms. Moore is a gifted actress, and I am sure her portrayal will be the film's highlight. Ms. Palin should thank her lucky stars that her character was placed in the hands of someone so talented.

Is the movie called " The Quitter " ?

Julianne Moore is more attractive, dignified and intelligent than Palin. They should have gotten someone who is more of a " Bozo " to play Palin. Like an LA roller dirby girl, etc.

If Julianne Moore can capture that profound ignorance she should get an Emmy.
