ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The trailer for the HBO movie “Game Change” based on the 2008 presidential campaign that put Alaska’s former governor Sarah Palin on the national political scene was released on Wednesday.

In 2012, HBO will relive the 2008 campaign by tracing John McCain’s run from his selection of Palin as his running mate to their ultimate defeat in the general election.

The cast includes Ed Harris as John McCain, Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin, and Woody Harrelson as Steve Schmidt, McCain’s senior campaign strategist.

The movie is based on the bestselling book “Game Change,” written by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann.

The movie will be released in March 2012.
