原文~ "The Normal Heart"
Directed by Ryan Murphy
Based on Larry Kramer's groundbreaking 1985 play, "The Normal Heart" sounds primed to -- like "Behind The Candelabra" last year -- continue HBO's presence at the Cannes Film Festival. Based on a screenplay by Kramer itself, it follows New York-based writer and gay activist Ned Weeks as he struggles to pull together an organization focused on raising awareness about AIDS. Mark Ruffalo plays Weeks in the film, and he leads a pretty dreamy cast that includes Julia Roberts, Matt Bomer, Alfred Molina, Joe Mantello, Taylor Kitsch, Denis O’Hare and Corey Stoll. It's been a long while since we've seen an unflinching narrative take on the onset of AIDS, and HBO has a pretty stellar track record (see "Angels in America," please), so we're extremely excited to see how "The Normal Heart" turns out. And if not at Cannes, it debuts on HBO May 25th (just as the festival comes to a close -- making us even more certain its debuting there first)
