(CNN) - It's to be determined if she has the Alaskan accent down, but actress Julianne Moore appears to have nailed the look.
People Magazine has scored the first photograph of the actress in costume as the former Alaska governor for the upcoming HBO movie, Game Change.
Moore, a four-time Oscar nominee, was tapped last month to play the former vice presidential candidate in an HBO adaptation of the book by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann that details the inner workings of the historic 2008 campaign.


Palin who? Is she still relevant?
Now all they need is the real Katie Couric
Julianne Moore and Tina Fey? Wow, Palin is more ordinary than we think. LOL Now all Ms. Moore has to do is talk like her brain is disconnected from any rational thought and she will have her nailed.
Was Julianne required to get a frontal lobotomy in order to play this role? I mean, if they're striving for accuracy, she has to come off as a brainless twit.
Please don't ask the real Sarah to define doppelganger let alone spell it.
There is no Alaska accent? Palin for some odd reason has a midwest accent and sounds nothing like any real Alaskans.
Palin should be honored. Julianne Moore's right eyebrow has more talent than Sarah Palin and her whole family combined.
Palin is the original doppelganger.
Just proves she can do comedy.
Wow, Julianne Moore is way hotter than Palin (Palin looks like a handsome man if you ask me). I'm sure she'll nail the role by not answering any questions asked of her, being out raged at the press but still not answering anything, and then quitting her Gov job because she wanted to make $$. Palin may be the worst example of an American Politician to date. She brings shame onto this country.
Gosh, we have ONE MORE PALIN, god have mercy on us. I love Julianne, she is the best.
I don't know. Pretty good job, and I'm sure that Ms. Moore has the acting chops to pull it off, but...Could ANYBODY do a better Sarah Palin impersonation than Tina Fey?
C'mon. Even WITH the comedy–Tina NAILED IT!
Four time oscar nominee stooping down to play this deranged woman. How low can you go. At least Fey was making fun of her like most of us who think she is a clown.
I read the book. Won't be watching the movie. Does she also have to recreate that high pitch screeching voice? Don't harm your vocal cords.
straight to dvd !!!
Needs 20 lbs more makeup to look like Quitter Palin.
Cannot wait.......maybe Palin will retire to another planet!
I just puked in my mouth...
What are you talking about, "Alaskan accent"? She sounds like she's from Minnesota, not from here. Not that I'd expect someone from the Lesser 48 to know what an Alaskan actually sounds like... Can't you people just forget she's from Alaska, please?
Sarah Palin. Will this silliness go on forever? No wonder 70% of Americans are pessimistic about its future.
Nah. That's definitely NOT Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin does not have an Alaskan accent. She has a whack job accent. Alaskans don't talk like her.
God, I wish this nightmare called Palin would go away.
Not likely to watch another left wing Docudrama.
Palin is prettier. Guess the apers can't do anything about that.
If Sarah Palin chooses not to run for president it will topple a cottage industry of grade-B comedians who have worked hard to imitate her.
