Game Change movie charts Palin's 2008 election campaign.

4:40 pm - 03/10/2012
The story of how unknown Alaskan governor Sarah Palin became a household name in 2008's US election has been made into a film.

Game Change stars Julianne Moore as the former vice-presidential candidate and "hockey mom".

However, the real Mrs Palin has denounced the movie as "Hollywood lies".

OP: What is it with Hollywood? Instead of movies about inspirational women like the Suffragettes or Mother Theresa they give us Sarah "I can see Russia and their death panels from here" Palin and Maggie "what the hell do we need a steel / coal / manufacturing industry for?" Thatcher.

aren't they still planning a film on the Edwards family? I don't think HBO is doing it but I swear I remember reading a post on here about some studio deciding to do it here once.

It would have been amazing if they'd done Game Change as a mini series. Lord knows, it had all the trashiness, money and drama to rival the classic soaps back in the day. But yeah, the claims of the Edwards' marriage. Even in print, it was a train wreck; I'd read it through the slats of my fingers in some spots. Just a lot of second hand embarrassment.

There were a lot of excerpts from Game Change all over the web (a big blitz for the book before it came out; by the time it hit the shelves people rushed to get it). So you can have a read to see if it's good enough for you. Or get it from the library. But yeah, it's a good, trashy read.
