Julianne Moore To Play Sarah Palin

Julianne Moore

Sarah Palin

Julianne Moore is a bit nervous as she is getting ready to act as Sarah Palin in the film adaptation of the book "Game Change".

"Game Change" by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann is a book on 2008 elections. So far Moore has signed up for the movie but there will be other key actors needed too to play the roles of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

The books discussed the election campaign in detail and showed the tension during that time. It also showed how Obama and Joe Biden's relationship became so distant during the campaign. The Clintons' dislikeness for Obama was mentioned in the book too. McCain's choice of Palin was also highlighted in the book.

Moore is worried also because unlike Palin, she is an outspoken liberal and she backed Obama during the 2008 elections. Though they do look similar in many ways but we will have to wait and see how it all turns out in the end. There is a growing trend for such movies now and we will be seeing more of such work ahead.

Hollywood Studios Won't Cast Gay Actors???

Newsweek writer Ramin Setoodeh was widely disliked when he wrote an article in April claiming that openly gay TV star Sean Hayes, best known for his role as the flamboyant Jack in Will and Grace, did not make a convincing straight character in the Broadway play Promises, Promises. In a new article, Setoodeh, who is himself gay, suggests that gay men are not even able to play gay roles because Hollywood prefers to hand them to straight actors.

"The lovable lesbian wives in The Kids Are All Right were played by the heterosexual actresses Annette Bening and Julianne Moore," writes Setoodeh. "The quirky couple in I Love You Phillip Morris were portrayed by straight men Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor.

"You could say that's why it's called 'acting'. But that's little comfort to gay actors, who are routinely shut out of the studio system, even though Hollywood is supposedly one of the most 'gay-friendly' towns. Movies need to attract the broadest possible audience, and film-makers worry that if they cast a gay person as a romantic lead, audiences will be too grossed out. Instead, straight actors get the roles, and everybody talks about how brave they are."

That's such a shame. It seems every society has its sets of issues. We always feel things are so cool abroad and that everything is ok but no in one way or the other, there is some prejudice that exists everywhere.
