Everyone knows that Tina Fey famously played Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live during the 2008 presidential election but the torch has been passed to actress Julianne Moore to portray the former Alaska governor in an HBO film titled Game Change. The Hollywood Reporter gives us our first look at Moore as Palin and, I gotta say, the resemblance is striking.

Check out the first photo of Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin in the upcoming HBO film, Game Change. The actress nails Palin’s look with a bright suit, patriotic flag pin and similar glasses. She also ditched her trademark red hair for Palin’s brown style, which she wears in a look-alike updo. Production begins on Wednesday for the movie, directed by Jay Roach and written by Danny Strong. Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman are executive producers. Ed Harris plays John McCain in the film, which follows the Arizona U.S. Senators failed 2008 Republican presidential bid. Woody Harrelson plays Steve Schmidt, McCain’s senior adviser. Temple Grandin’s Melissa Farman will play Bristol Palin, The Hollywood Reporter first reported Tuesday.

Julianne has the look down … but does she have the voice down? Part of why Tina Fey‘s impersonation of Sarah Palin is so perfect is because she not only looked like her, she sounded exactly like her as well. Let’s be honest, Sarah Palin has become a caricature … all you need is the updo hair’do and the glasses and you’re Sarah Palin. I really love Julianne‘s work so I have no doubt she’ll be able to play the Palin part very well. Altho I’m not a McCain/Palin fan (by any stretch of the imagination), I am very intrigued by this HBO movie. I’m actually quite curious to see how the real life drama between McCain and Palin is played out in this dramatic film. I already know I’m gonna LOVE the ending so … yeah, I’m actually looking forward to seeing Game Change when it gets released ;)
