"The Normal Heart," originally a Tony-award winning play by iconic
gay activist Larry Kramer, reached a brand new audience when it appeared on HBO as a film directed by Ryan Murphy earlier this year.
Now, in honor of the film's release on DVD and Blu-Ray tomorrow, August 26, we've got an exclusive clip of Kramer discussing the real life events that inspired it.
In the clip, which can be seen above, Kramer, Julia Roberts and other stars from the film speak about the pushback that Kramer received when he began to speak out about HIV in the early 1980's.
Kramer notes, "The gay world did not want to know about this illness — that’s where I got the reputation for being a screamer. It was the only way you could get anyone to pay any attention. You know, 'You dumb assholes! It’s a plague!'”
Watch the clip above and get your own copy of "The Normal Heart" on DVD or Blu-Ray, which both include an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the true story that inspired the film, featuring cast and crew interviews, as well as a Digital HD copy, in stores tomorrow.

Tony winner George C. Wolfe, (Angels in America) directs Larry Kramer’s Tony Award-winning Broadway production of The Normal Heart. Fueled by love, anger, hope and pride, a circle of friends struggle to contain the mysterious disease ravaging New York's gay community. Dismissed by politicians, frustrated by doctors and fighting with each other, their differences could tear them apart - or change the world. Hailed by critics as “riveting” (Newsday) and “a great night at the theater” (New York Times), Kramer's masterwork is an outrageous and totally unforgettable look at sexual politics during the AIDS crisis and remains one of the theater’s most powerful evenings ever.

NEW YORK Nick Kyrgios' vanquished opponent defended the teenager's on-court conduct after the Australian flirted with disqualification from the US Open on Monday.
Kyrgios backed up his Wimbledon slaying of Rafael Nadal with a stirring 7-5 7-6 (7-4) 2-6 7-6 (7-1) victory over classy Russian Mikhail Youzhny on his Flushing Meadows main-draw debut.
But the 19-year-old stood just one point away from being forfeited after earning three code violations during the tense and high-quality three-hour encounter on Show Court 17.
The video in video games is suddenly a billion-dollar business.
Video games have long been something people played. But in the last few years, thanks in part to fast Internet access and multiplayer games, the games have become something that people sit back and watch, too. On Monday, that new habit enticed the web giant Amazon to reach a $1.1 billion deal to buy Twitch, the most popular website for watching people play games.
The deal for Twitch is the latest sign of the way forms of behavior once seemingly on the fringe can, in the hands of tech entrepreneurs, turn into huge online communities in no time. Twitch did not exist a little over three years ago, and it now has 55 million unique viewers a month globally, helping turn games into a spectator event as much as a participatory activity.
Those millions of eyeballs are valuable to web companies, and Amazon, although usually known for its retailing, is no exception. To win in its bid for Twitch, Amazon had to outmaneuver a who’s who of the tech world, including Google — strongly suggesting that these companies think the era of video-game viewing is just starting. It also underscored Amazon’s growing appetite for controlling and delivering content to digital devices, especially the tablets and smartphones made by Amazon.
An unusual rainstorm in the desert north of Reno, Nev. has shut the main entrance to Burning Man, disappointing thousands of would-be attendees to this performance-art festival and rave.
Monday showers turned the Black Rock Desert into "mucky mud," Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Dan Lopez said. Law enforcement officials were turning back a long line of cars and camping vans.
"With rain attached to (playa dust), people get stuck everywhere," Lopez said.
Hundreds of people had already entered the annual counterculture event outside Gerlach, Nev. , which runs all week. Those who were setting up camp and performance venues were advised to avoid driving and riding ubiquitous 'Burner' bicycles, which were also likely to get stuck in the mud.
Some who were turned away drove to nearby Pyramid Lake. "We're going to make the best of the situation," Charlie Lucas, of Portland, Ore., said.
People were in party mode -- even if the party was off limits for a while.
