  • Absolute power corrupts in CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT, an extensive reconstruction of the notorious 1980 spectacle. Shadowed by the murder of his family, Caligula (Malcolm McDowell) eliminates his devious adoptive grandfather (Peter O’Toole) and seizes control of the Roman Empire alongside his wife Caesonia (Helen Mirren) before descending into a spiral of depravity, destruction, and madness.
    In theaters August 16, 2024.

      From what I know from the distributor it’s essentially a whole new movie. Never before seen footage throughout, full performances of the actors, it even features new camera angles!
      It’s a new film and I’m wondering why they’re not marketing it more with that in mind. That this isn’t the Caligula people have seen or know of.

    Some years ago, I worked on a film with Malcolm McDowell in the cast. After lunch break, McDowell was late coming out of his trailer. Normally punctual, everyone waited patiently. When he finally did, the AD got on his bullhorn and announced "Ladies and gentlemen, Golden Globe nominee and star of the award-winning film "Caligula", Mr. Malcom McDowell is now on the set!" McDowell's face immediately went red. Unfortunately, I could not actually make out any of his curses over the applause except for "... son of a bitch...". Personally, as terrible as the film actually is, McDowell's performance is absolutely fantastic. I hope this cut can begin to do it some of the justice it deserves.

      @@JoesephTechnicolor I'm sorry if you don't believe it is true. The film was Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius, which was released 20 years ago this year. The specific shooting location was the second day on the Bobby Jones golf course in Atlanta, where I lived at the time. McDowell played a famous Atlanta newspaper journalist. I played a number of different extra roles in the film, but was specifically a news photographer in that one. If I recall correctly, that setup only lasted about 30 minutes due to the threat of thunderstorms. Jim Caveziel, who played Jones, was trying to get some shots right (they were later simply made with CGI), and he quickly threw down his metal club at the first sight of lightening, and we headed indoors for a press conference scene. During the setup, the soft-spoken Caveziel, whose previous film was the popular Passion of the Christ, entertained us with stories of his unpleasant encounter with lightning while playing Jesus on the cross in that picture, hence him not wanting to tempt fate on an open golf course holding a metal stick. McDowell, though seemingly pleasant other than his fury at the aforementioned AD remark, did not spend any time on the set unnecessarily, generally choosing to avoid the oppressive Georgia humidity whenever possible. Indeed, I never saw him without an umbrella to avoid the sun unless the camera was actually rolling. I suspect that not a lot people on the set had actually seen Caligula, but enough people laughed out loud to suggest awareness, at least, of its infamy.

    Saw it in New Haven CT in 1980, presumably the 156-min version. I recall reading the novelization, which was of Vidal's original screenplay, NOT the finished movie--Vidal's screenplay was VERY different though after 44 years I don't recall HOW it was different 😉 Supposedly this 178-min Ultimate Cut is meant to come closer to Vidal's version. I'm not sure if I'm up for seeing it in the theater again, even after those 44 years but when it comes out on DVD, I'll certainly watch it then.
