"Game Change" trailer: Julianne Moore takes the stage as Sarah Palin

(CBS) HBO has released a trailer for "Game Change," its film based on the bestselling book about the 2008 election.

The teaser gives the first look at Julianne Moore portraying Sarah Palin.

Pictures: Julianne Moore

Ed Harris stars in the film as John McCain, and Woody Harrelson plays McCain adviser Steve Schmidt.

Moore isn't seen until the last few seconds of the trailer, when she, as Palin, steps out on stage at the Republican National Convention and accepts the vice presidential nomination.

"Game Change" will debut on HBO in March.

Tell us: What do you think of Moore as Palin, and Harris as McCain?

Julianne Moore is poised, gracious, intelligent, and ethical. And that is why she will do a masterful job playing someone who is exactly her opposite. Great actresses can do that.

IT take more brains to play a dumb person, then to be the dumb person.

Surely HBO does not think that they will make money with this. Wait a minute, I know why they are doing this - they are saying, "oh what did we miss. if we only had to do it over again, we would have dropped Obama like a ton a bricks. McCain was the man."

A close match in appearance. Good thing Julianne only has to play as dumb, not be as dumb, as Palin.

I agree I'm not the least bit interested in Sarah Palin, but Julianne Moore looks to have done a good job. Of course, they could have asked Tina Fey!

Oh, please. Julianne Moore is way too old and not nearly pretty enough to portray gorgeous, glamorous, gracious Gov. Sarah Palin. 'Game Change' will flop.

considering it is HBO and Hollyweird, it be a negative portrayal,

Where is the HBO Special about Obama, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Tony Resco, ??
