Metropolis (1927) missing scenes found

[Tripe]

That's it,We must dig up South America!

Well we made a start:



Thus far we've turned up a  lost episode of Adam Adamant Lives! and an alternative cut of Birth of a Nation, but sadly no Hartnell or Troughton Dr Whos

[Doctor Who?]

Good Work men!

If this doesn't pan out should we move on to Africa?

I KNEW there was a copy out there....or the pieces to put a whole one together....they just weren't looking hard enough.



And if you've seen the documentary on the Kino DVD on how they digitally cleaned up the footage for that...

I can't wait to see this!

(and about London After Midnight....have you seen the "reconstruction" that was done from stills of the film?  I love Chaney but I get the feeling that the make-up was the most memorable thing about that...and it could be a little disappointing)

[Doctor Who?]

It is incredible what they can do with old footage these days.

The Doctor Who DvDs look great compared to the VHSes.

Seriously...I was thinking last night that that's how much of a GEEK I am....

One of the first things I thought of when the Berlin Wall fell was that now the film historians can get in there and look for a copy of Metropolis that the Soviets wouldn't have worried about finding....

I know some Doctor Who fans who feel the same way whenever a new dictatorship falls.

Me too.....

I'm a Whovian from the mid-1980's.

There's nothing like being a fan of something that has huge chunks missing.

Troughton is my second favorite Doctor so i hope we have a find like this at some point.

Thank you sir.  That made my day about a million times better.  I can't wait to see it on the big screen again.

Not a problem. It should be an enjoyable time

I wonder how I can find out if it will be coming within a couple hours drive of my house.

Maybe this is why Fate got me out of Bum F@#k, AR last week and here in civilization again...

Further information on THE COMPLETE METROPOLIS and annotations of all recovered scenes - as well as images, clips and theatrical playdates - will be uploaded to the new Metropolis website, which goes live on April 15. The site will be hosted at www.kino.com/metropolis.

I'll trust you guys to keep an eye on that for me.
