On October 16, 2026, Warner Bros. re-releases Ken Russell’s The Devils to movie theaters with a 4K restoration assembled from the original camera negative. The restoration presents Ken Russell’s definitive vision of The Devils by referencing the edit he privately constructed in 2004. The release is the uncut and unfiltered theatrical experience that Russell originally envisioned, and the first time the film is presented restored and in 4K.

Ken Russell’s The Devils is a prescient epic of obsession & corruption, and a defining work of art from filmmaker Ken Russell. The Devils takes place in 17th-century France. Father Urbain Grandier’s protection of the city of Loudun from the corrupt Cardinal Richelieu is undermined by a sexually repressed nun’s accusation of witchcraft.

Ken Russell directed the film from a screenplay he wrote, based on Aldous Huxley’s novel “The Devils of Loudun” and the play by John Whiting. Vanessa Redgrave as Sister Jeanne, Oliver Reed as Father Urbain Grandier, Dudley Sutton as Baron de Laubardemont, Max Adrian as Ibert, Gemma Jones as Madeleine, Murray Melvin as Father Mignon, Michael Gothard as Father Barre, Georgina Hale as Phillipe, Brian Murphy as Adam, Christopher Logue as Cardinal Richelieu, Graham Armitage as Louis XIII, John Woodvine as Trincant, Andrew Faulds as Rangier, Kenneth Colley as Legrand, Judith Paris as Sister Judith (aka Sister Agnes), Catherine Willmer as Sister Catherine, and Iza Teller as Sister Iza.
