HBO’s production of A Normal Heart airs Sunday, May 25, and we’ve finally got a trailer to give us a glimpse into what it will look like.

Ryan Murphy directs and Mark Ruffalo (who spoke to Xtra about playing a gay character), Julia Roberts, Taylor Kitsch and Jim Parsons star in the film adaptation of Larry Kramer’s Tony Award–winning play, which was mounted at Buddies in Toronto in 2012. We think the trailer looks promising. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments.
