Cine-Historical Masterpiece 'Caligula: Ultimate Edition' to Arrive on Blu-ray & DVD on September 2, 2026

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

★ The 'Ultimate True Form' of the film history shaker returns in the Reiwa era!

This production is a newly edited version of 'Caligula,' originally produced in 1967 by Bob Guccione, founder of Penthouse magazine, with a massive budget of 4.6 billion yen—nearly twice that of 'Star Wars' (1977). After 45 years, it was revealed that over 90 hours of original footage, long thought lost, still existed. By re-editing these visuals and audio, the 'Caligula: Ultimate Edition' has been brought back to life in the 21st century, reflecting the true intent of the original creators.

★ Featuring a stellar cast of legendary British actors!

The film stars Malcolm McDowell, who left a powerful global impression in 'A Clockwork Orange' (1971); Helen Mirren, winner of the 79th Academy Award for Best Actress in 'The Queen' (2006) and star of 'RED' and 'Fast & Furious'; and Peter O'Toole, eight-time Academy Award nominee known for 'Lawrence of Arabia' (1962).
