Quick New Restoration Comparison Trailer for 'Ken Russell's The Devils'

"The restoration of the material is like cleaning the Sistine Chapel with saliva. I've never seen the movie until I saw this restoration." –Guillermo del Toro. What a quote!! Warner Bros Clockwork debuted another new promo trailer for Ken Russell's The Devils restored & uncut & ready to shock again in 4K this fall. This comparison trailer is just a quick before/after look at footage from one key scene in the movie and how much better it looks now. This 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. It premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival and plays at Stiges & TIFF, too. 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 brought down 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. Over 164,472 frames of 35mm film were restored to bring to life Ken Russell's The Devils in 2026. I cannot wait to experience this film on the big screen! It shall be glorious and unforgettable. // Continue Reading ›
