From twitchfilm, Remember that some museum in Argentina discovered that their version of Fritz Lang’s “METROPOLIS” turned out to be the full, uncut version which had been considered lost since 1927?
In my post on that, I wondered who would provide a special edition containing this material.
Well, I didn’t have to wait long to find out. Those excellent guys over at The Digital Bits said this about Kino International (and yes, I know I’m rather late in picking this up):.
“The good news is that they have officially confirmed that the newly-discovered footage from Fritz Lang’s original version of Metropolis (which we mentioned yesterday) WILL be a part of the forthcoming special edition BluRay Disc release in 2009.”
Splendid, splendid.
By then I hope to finally own a BluRay player (and the right sort of television to appreciate it...) but if not, no worries: Kino International announced they’ll release the same edition on regular DVD!
I’m very pleased with this news. Back in 2003, when it was released, Kino’s edition was the best in the world so I’m confident they won’t mess it up.
