Yesterday they released an exclusive sneak peek of their feature film, ‘Game Change’. Starring Julianne Moore as the former Alaska governor turned VP hopeful Sarah Palin. The 52-second teaser about the 2008 presidential election shows brief glimpses of Moore, in addition to Ed Harris, who was tapped to play John McCain, and Woody Harrelson takes on the role of McCain’s aide, Steve Schmidt. The movie starts with McCain and Schmidt talking about how they need to pick a vice presidential candidate who would rev up their campaign. “None of these middle aged white guys are game changers,” say Schmidt. McCain responds with, “So find me a woman.”

The Clip ends with Moore as Palin, in her signature frameless glasses as she appears from behind a podium and declares “I will be honored to accept your nomination for Vice President of the United States.” The flick is based on the best-selling book with the same name, written by John Heilemann of New York magazine and Mark Halperin of Time Magazine. Earlier this year Palin weighed in on how she will be portrayed in the movie, “I think I’ll just grit my teeth and bear whatever comes what may with that movie. These gals who pretend like they’re me, perhaps they want to spring for one of my kid’s braces or something as they capitalize.” Suffice it to say, she doesn’t seem to happy about the movie that will debut in March on HBO. Tune in to see the real story behind the election. To learn more about adding HBO Movie Channel to your list of satellite TV programming services visit us at Connect Your Home or call (888)566-3979.

It pits champions Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz against one another in a battle that is sure to excite viewers. Scheduled for September 17th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Ortiz is fresh off a win to Andre Berto in April and will be defending his title for the first time since. Mayweather is a former Ring Magazine welterweight world champion and he will be fighting for the first time since he defeated Shane Mosley in May of 2010. Since that time, Mayweather has tried to put together a fight with Manny Pacquio but negotiations never went through and now he is fighting Ortiz. The fight is set to air on HBO pay-per-view, with four episodes of the promotional series ‘24/7’ airing leading up to the battle.

This promotional series for Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s return to the ring after a 16-month sabbatical to face welterweight titlist Victor Ortiz will feature coverage of the buildup on CNN. The promotional series HBO hopes will boost viewership for the fight. It will feature the fighters on their journey to Las Vegas, from training camps to the ring. “This is a proud day for the sport of boxing,” said HBO PPV Chief Mark Taffet. “We are delighted to see those CNN letters associated with HBO Sports programming. It is the first of a number of exciting new initiatives across HBO and various Time Warner properties which will be unveiled in the coming weeks.

Tune in Saturday September 17th, 2011 to see who will come out on top. To order this pay-per-view event or add HBO to your satellite TV programming package, visit us at Dish-Systems or call (888)566-3979. Who do you think will win the title?
