The authors of the book Game Change are working on a follow-up to their 2010 best-seller called Double Down: Game Change 2012. HBO, which aired a made-for-TV movie based on the first book, has already optioned the sequel for a movie.
John Heileman and Mark Halperin will release Double Down: Game Change 2012 in Fall 2013. It will, not surprisingly, focus on the 2012 Presidential campaign between President Obama and Mitt Romney.
Okay I don't know about all of you, but I am going to watch the HELL out of this!
Even though we JUST finished celebrating Obama's victory and are now focusing on the life outside of politics, I am still quite fascinated with the behind the scenes stories of what happened in this last election cycle.
After all I thought there would not be much that I would find surprising about Sarah Palin in the original Game Change and boy was I wrong!
Speaking of the original book and the HBO movie based on it, there are apparently some more accolades coming to the actors that gave those riveting performances.

Just one day after news of their next “Game Change” book, more good news for the book’s authors: The HBO movie based on their book, “Game Change,” picked up three nominations from the Screen Actor’s Guild, which were announced Wednesday in Los Angeles.
Woody Harrelson was nominated for “Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries” (he portrayed McCain strategist Steve Schmidt). Ed Harris was nominated in the same category for his portrayal of Sen. John McCain. Julianne Moore was nominated for “Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries” (she portrayed Palin).
(Insert obligatory Wasilla refrigerator reference here.)
Is today a great day to be covering politics and the Palin family or what?
