It appears that an UNCUT copy of Fritz Lang's Metropolis (the greatest SF film ever made) has been unearthed in Buenos Aires.

Kino is scheduling the release of the new footage on Blu-Ray and DVD next year, hopefully integrated with the existing footage that has already been restored. The below link includes a German report that shows some of the new footage.

Now, if only someone would find the lost Spider Pit sequence from the original King Kong.

When it comes out, I will at last watch the film.

 

[Punnisher]

How appropriate, that character is wearing cans.

 

[Uncle Erik]

I can't wait. I saw the present version years back and would love to see it in a complete form. What I'm really hoping for, however, is a screening of the complete version. Might happen around Hollywood somewhere, and I'll be there.

Reminds me of the missing footage from Lost Horizon, another favorite. I think Capra burned a reel or two; my guess is that we won't be seeing that any time soon.

 

[The Actual]

Wow, I can hardly believe it. I just watched this again for a class and wrote an essay on it this past semester and was thinking that the lost footage was truly gone.

Seems too good to be true! I will watch the new version when it comes out. Not sure if it needs bluray though as the original quality is none too great relative to modern day standards.

Fantastic. I can't wait to see it.

Great movie. I look forward to seeing the re-release.

Cool as hell! Can't wait to see the full movie finally.
