My goodness. What a week this has been!

No kidding, the last seven days or so have been filled with so many moments or bits of news that made me say, “Oh my God, that’s incredible!” or “Oh man, that’s terrible!” that it’s damn near impossible to process it all today.

Let’s start the post with some great news for cinephiles: Yes, Ken Russell’s The Devils (1971) has received a stunning, no expenses spared restoration in 4K by the A-team at Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging. Yes, it is the uncut, uncensored version.

And yes, a Blu-ray and 4K disc release is almost certain to follow the film’s limited theatrical run from Warner’s new indie label, Warner Bros. Clockwork, which is due to happen on October 16.

Word is, Warner Clockwork is partnering with the BFI in the UK on the theatrical screenings. The restoration premieres at this year’s Cannes Film Festival in France (which runs from May 12-23).

In terms of a physical media release, it remains to be seen if Warner Clockwork will have their own branded label within the Warner Bros. family—not unlike the Warner Archive Collection. But it seems likely that they will, and the BFI is an obvious partner on any such disc release. So we’ll have to wait and see.
