Ed Harris to Play John McCain

As usual, nothing is set in stone, but the rumor mill has spread the news that Ed Harris will play John McCain in an HBO adaptation of the 2008 GOP battle between senator John McCain and Sarah Palin. The movie, called "Game Change" will be directed by Jay Roach and written by Danny Strong, based on a book by Mark Halperin, senior political analyst for Time magazine. The book has one of the longest titles I've ever seen : Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime. Roach and Strong have previously collaborated on the true story account of the 2000 presidential election, "Recount", also for HBO. So, I guess "Game Change" is a sequel of sorts, all things considered. Julianne Moore is already onboard to play Sarah Palin. And since this is HBO we're talking about, this movie will surely not go unnoticed when the awards season arrives.
