Not really liking the music, I think it distracts from the dialogue. Looks good otherwise.
Ruffalo looks like he's acting his heart out but also seems, alas, miscast.
I think this really looks amazing. The Normal Heart is one of my favorite plays, and this looks likes like a really good adaptation. I also have a lot of faith in HBO.
Holding out hope that Ryan Murphy somehow rose above his bad taste and terrible instincts to give us a decent adaptation. Fingers crossed.
O'Hare also played State Sen. Briggs in MILK, a role not very friendly to the gay persuasion.
I think the teaser looks a little bland and by-the-numbers, which may prove to disappoint after the pure furnace of fiery energy of the recent revival, but it's still not enough footage to judge anything by just yet.

I've been very nervous since Ryan Murphy first expressed interest in adapting The Normal Heart, but this really does look fantastic. I'm really excited now.
As a huge fan of the play I have to say this looks fantastic
^ Ditto. Promising so far.

I cannot wait to see this!!
I think Mark Ruffalo looks great in it. I wish the trailer were longer.
Looks awesome. The Normal Heart is one of the brightest spots in my theatrical history, and so I'm very wary of anything that attempts to recreate that brilliance. But this is encouraging.
