HBO's upcoming political movie Game Change has added a slew of new cast members, including Melissa Farman (Temple Grandin) portraying Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol Palin.

The movie centers on the controversial Presidential campaign of John McCain and Sarah Palin in 2008. Ron Livingston has joined the cast as Mark Wallace, a senior campaign advisor to the McCain-Palin ticket. Larry Sullivan (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) will play Chris Edwards, Sarah Palin's deputy chief of staff, while Jamey Sheridan (Trauma) is set to play John McCain's speechwriter/strategist, Mark Salter.

Ed Harris and Julianne Moore are already locked in to play John McCain and Sarah Palin, with Woody Harrelson playing Sarah Palin's senior campaign strategist and adviser.

Jay Roach will direct Game Change from a screenplay by Danny Strong, both of whom collaborated on the 2008 HBO political movie, Recount.

    This film is a waste of time and money, kind of like the awful campaign McCain and Palin put us through. I won't be watching this exaggerated nonsense. And why do they feel the need to put Bristol in? Oh, that's right, anything to slam a kid that made a mistake.

    @skywise You haven't seen anything yet. You'll love that series. And don't worry, the fantasy aspect of it comes out more as it goes along. By the time we reach the third season, things will be bat sh*t insane.

    HBO hits em out of the park time and time again so IMO this will definatly be worth watching.

    @dan1 the latest Game of Thrones continues what is shaping up to be one hell of a series.

    Nice cast. I'll be getting the popcorn and a beer for this liberal spin, and forgiving Moore and Harris afterwards.
