It stars Malcolm McDowell, Teresa Ann Savoy, Helen Mirren, Peter OToole, John Steiner and John Gielgud. It is the only feature film produced by the mens magazine Penthouse. Producer Bob Guccione, the magazines founder, intended to produce an explicit pornographic film with a feature film narrative and high production values. He also cast Penthouse Pets as extras in unsimulated sex scenes filmed during post-production by himself and Giancarlo Lui. Guccione hired screenwriter Gore Vidal to draft the films script and Tinto Brass to direct the film. Brass extensively altered Vidals original screenplay, leading Vidal to disavow the film. The final screenplay focuses on the idea that absolute power corrupts absolutely. However, both Brass and Vidal disagreed over Gucciones use of unsimulated sexual content, which Brass refused to film. Because the producers did not allow Brass to edit the film, they changed its tone and style significantly and added hardcore sex scenes not filmed by Brass, thus turning Caligula into a pornographic drama that disregarded the directors intentions to present the film as a political satire. Its uncut form remains banned in several countries. Although reviews were overwhelmingly negative (though McDowells performance as the title character and OTooles performance as Tiberius were praised), Caligula is now considered to be a cult classic in retrospect, and its political content is considered to have significant merit. Leonardo DiCaprio even stated he based his character in The Wolf of Wall Street on the titular character in this film, and his descent into going mad with power. The script was later adapted into a novelization written by William Johnston under the pseudonym William Howard. In 2018, Penthouse announced that a new Directors Cut of the film was being edited by Alexander Tuschinski, with the approval of Brasss family. Caligula is the young heir to the throne of his great uncle, the Emperor Tiberius. ![]() Shortly afterward, the head of the Praetorian Guard, Macro, tells Caligula that Tiberius demands his immediate presence at Capri, where the Emperor lives with his close friend Nerva, a dim-witted relative Claudius, and Caligulas younger stepbrother Gemellus. ![]() At Capri, Caligula finds that Tiberius has become depraved, showing signs of advanced venereal diseases, and embittered with Rome and politics. Tiberius enjoys swimming with naked youths and watching degrading sex shows that often include children and deformed people. Tensions rise when Tiberius tries to poison Caligula in front of Gemellus.
