Ryan Murphy's adaptation of "The Normal Heart" is heading to HBO. The film, which stars Julia Roberts, Mark Ruffalo and Matt Bomer, will air in 2014.
"We are so proud to be involved with this monumental project,” HBO's Michael Lombardo said in a statement. “Ryan has assembled an extraordinary cast to bring Larry Kramer’s landmark theatrical achievement to the screen for the first time, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring this important film to HBO.”
Murphy will direct and executive produce the movie based on Larry Kramer's '80s play. Jason Blum, Dede Gardner and Dante Di Loreto will also serve as executive producers. The movie is set in New York City in the '80s during the onset of the HIV-AIDS crisis.
Roberts will play Dr. Emma Brookner, the paraplegic physician who treats several of the earliest victims of the disease. Ruffalo will take on the role of Ned Weeks, "who witnesses first-hand the mysterious disease that has begun to claim the lives of many in his gay community and starts to seek answers." "White Collar" star Matt Bomer will play Felix Turner, a reporter who becomes Ned’s lover.
The project has been in development for some time. In January 2012, Roberts and Alec Baldwin were attached to the project.

Because ... duh.
After years of rumors, it's finally happening this spring. The Bluths will be back and all will be right with the world ... of TV.
By far one of the most entertaining of the 2012-2013 pilots, we can't wait to be creeped out by James Purefoy and have the day (hopefully) saved by Kevin Bacon on a weekly basis.
How do you spice up a musical? Add an Oscar winner with a killer voice. "Smash" is already filled to the brim with talent, but adding Hudson's show-stopping voice to the mix really ups the ante.
Once you get over the initial balking at a "Sex And The City" prequel series, "The Carrie Diaries" is a pretty well done pilot. Cool music and performances that blow pretty much every other CW show out of the water make this show one we've got an eye on.
The Greendale Human Beings have been gone way too long. The series is basically the Rodney Dangerfield of NBC: it can't get no respect. Now that it's finally on the schedule (February 7 at 8 p.m. EST!), we can't wait to see what "Community" has to offer under the guidance of new showrunners. All the headlines and departure news have just added to the anticipation.
Whether they're feuding or not talking to each other, we're excited to see these two divas on screen together. Can Keith Urban keep the peace?
The exploits of Hannah, Marnie, Shoshanna and Jessa are enough to bring us back for Season 2, but when you add guest stars like Donald Glover, Rita Wilson, Patrick Wilson, Colin Quinn and Shiri Appleby, the "Girls" game has been raised.
OK, so we don't really want "Breaking Bad" to end, but man we are looking forward to seeing how Walter White's evolution ends.
You can't keep a good show down. Thanks to the execs at TBS, "Cougar Town" lived to see another day and finish off hundreds of bottles of wine.
As if we weren't looking forward to returning to Westeros and Essos already, Season 3 is based on "A Storm of Swords," one of the best George R. R. Martin books. Add some exciting new cast members -- Diana Rigg and Iwan Rheon to name a few -- and March can't come soon enough.
Our long national nightmare is over! Sort of. There are still spinoffs, and JWoww is headed to Fox's celebrity diving show. Not to mention the premiere MTV's "Jersey Shore" replacement "Buckwild." So the "Shore" legacy lives on ... for better or worse.
Cory and Topanga, together again! Technically this pilot is still in development, but given the buzz it's created, we're 99 percent sure Disney will go through with this "Boy Meets World" sequel series.
