‘Caligula: The Ultimate Cut” Lands August 16th Theatrical Release

“Caligula,” starring Malcolm McDowell and Helen Mirren, is a cult classic and now the film should receive deeper appreciation with “Caligula: The Ultimate Cut.” The epic hits North American theaters August 16. A 4K UHD Blu-ray and Digital release is also around the corner.

The 4K Ultra High Definition restoration of “Caligula: The Ultimate Cut” made its world premiere last year at the Cannes Film Festival. The new version stays truer to Gore Vidal’s original screenplay and contains a prologue that illustrates one of Vidal’s missing sequences.

Almost 100 hours of original footage was discvoered by film historian Thomas Negovan in the Penthouse archive. The ensemble includes Malcolm McDowell, Dame Helen Mirren, Peter O’Toole and Sir John Gielgud.

The poster for “Caligula: The Ultimate Cut” was created by revered comic book artist Bill Sienkiewicz (“New Mutants,” “Moon Knight”).
