Quick Teaser for 'Ken Russell's The Devils' 4K Definitive Restoration

"I know I want to serve... I want to serve you." Warner Bros Clockwork – the new specialty label known as WB Clockwork – has unveiled a quick teaser trailer for Ken Russell's The Devils. It is Clockwork's first official release, a restoration of a controversial, one-of-a-kind, 1970s masterpiece that has been hidden from view for decades. Ken Russell's The Devils is the definitive vision based on the edit he privately constructed in 2004. In the film set in 17th-century France, Father Grandier's protection of the city of Loudun from the corrupt Cardinal Richelieu is undermined by a sexually repressed nun's accusation of witchcraft. Vanessa Redgrave stars as Sister Jeanne, with Oliver Reed as Father Grandier and Gemma Jones as Madeleine. The Picture & Sound restoration was performed by Warner Bros. Post Production Creative Services, Water Tower Color, and Warner Bros. Sound based on the original negatives. This special 4K restoration recently premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, celebrating 55 years since its original debut in theaters (where it received an X rating in the US & UK). This is a major, monumental re-release that any & every cinephile should be interested in when it hits theaters later this year. The Devils returns to tantalize audiences again. // Continue Reading ›
