## Ken Russell's The Devils to Get Uncut 4K Re-Release Ken Russell's 1971 film The Devils is set to receive an uncut 4K re-release in cinemas this October, following a heavily censored initial run. The film, starring Academy Award-winner Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed, has been restored from the original camera negative and will be presented in a 4K version that reflects the director's original vision. ## A New Trailer Emerges A new trailer for the film has been released, showcasing the frenzied editing and visuals that have made The Devils a cult classic. The trailer contains flashing lights and patterns that may trigger seizures in some viewers, and a warning has been issued to cinema-goers. ## A Restoration of Epic Proportions Director Guillermo del Toro has described the restoration of The Devils as 'like cleaning the Sistine Chapel with saliva', highlighting the epic size and complexity of the film. Del Toro has been a long-time admirer of Russell's work and has been instrumental in securing a screening of The Devils at the Cannes Film Festival. ## A New Era for The Devils The uncut 4K re-release of The Devils marks a new era for the film, which has been heavily censored and sporadically available since its initial release. A 117-minute cut of the film, which was unearthed in 2002, was the closest anyone had gotten to a definitive version of Russell's original. The new restoration, taken from the original camera negative, will be the first time the film has been presented in its uncut and unfiltered form. The Devils will appear in UK cinemas from October 16th, and a disc release is expected to follow shortly after. Fans of the film and cinema enthusiasts alike are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to see Russell's masterpiece in its original form.
