Caligula: The Ultimate Cut
Podtalk: Thomas Negovan on Reconstruction of ‘Caligula,’ at Music Box Theatre Sept. 29-30, 2024
Submitted by PatrickMcD on September 28, 2024 - 11:03amCHICAGO – One of the most notorious films in cinema history is undoubtably “Caligula” (1980). This very expensive independent film about a Roman emperor had a checkered history – from its principle photography beginning in 1976 to its release date – and featured big stars like Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren, Peter O’Toole and John Gielgud. When a “reconstruction” was in order, the writer, art historian and Chicago native Thomas Negovan was hired to create “The Ultimate Cut.” Negovan will appear at two screenings on September 29th and 30th at Chicago’s historic Music Box Theatre.
