Follows Caligula as he kills his devious adoptive grandfather and takes control of the decadent Roman Empire, spiralling into depravity, devastation and madness. This film is a complete re-imagination of Caligula (1979), based on 96 hours of never-before-seen footage recovered many years after its release. Instead of expanding existing scenes with the new footage, the entire film was edited from scratch, which resulted in a version that doesn't contain a single frame from the theatrical version, including all new visual effects and AI technology used to restore dialogue that was plagued with background noises. This version eventually premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023, with high remarks by actors Malcolm McDowell (who previously had been ashamed by the film) and Dame Helen Mirren.
