According to recent chatter picked up by the Hollywood Reporter, actor Ed Harris will be cast as John McCain in the upcoming HBO movie, “Game Change,” about the Arizona senator’s 2008 presidential run. Harris will be sharing the screen with another Hollywood titan, Julianne Moore, who has been tapped to play former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
Based on the bestselling book by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, the film will be directed by Jay Roach, written by Danny Strong and produced by Gary Goetzman and actor Tom Hanks. Still no word on who will play some of the story’s other political heavyweights, including President Obama and Hillary Clinton.
