Where's the emoticon for 83 years of accumulated drool?

[Murdoch]

Not an emoticon, but this should do

[TMDaines]

I think I'll go for the Kino release!

:^o

[aox]

so, MOC will release this in the UK (region free) and KINO will release a R1 in the US? Is that how this will work?

[swo17]

Looking like Region B.

We saw our 1080p Blu-ray encode of the new METROPOLIS today for the first time. Can someone scrape us off the ceiling?

[Awesome Welles]

[ehimle]

wow! i'm drooling.
that design work it AWESOME!

[Florinaldo]

Kalat and Rosenbaum. An inspired pairing.

Plus a new documentary. And whatever other material they see fit to include. All that in what looks to be a gorgeous package.

Oh, and the movie itself, I suppose...

I can't wait for summer to be over!

[Peacock]

Great work guys! I hope we can order it in advance from your website. Looks beautiful.

[Cash Flagg]

Looks like it's time to invest in a region-free Blu-ray player.

[aox]

wow.. just wow. Is there a definitive date set? November?

KINO will be handling the US release?

[Saturnome]

Yes, and if this poster from Kino is any indication for their cover, well...
Unless "The complete Metropolis" is something else I don't know about!

Plus a new documentary.

I'm pretty sure it's the ARTE documentary!

[peerpee]

"The Complete Metropolis" is the name of the 2010 Berlin exhibition about Metropolis which recently ended at the Deutsche Kinemathek – Museum für Film und Fernsehen. We decided against using this terminology to describe the new re-release of the film in the UK, simply because it's still not entirely complete, despite the wonderful new find.

[aox]

Yes, and if this poster from Kino is any indication for their cover, well...

Terrible. I hope that is not the cover.

[Finch]

This is one of MoC's classiest-looking releases and autumn can't come soon enough. Is it going to have the old disc's spine 8 or will it get number 100?

[manicsounds]

8.1 maybe...

I know there are some who don't like the sideways artwork, but looks like everyone is positive about this one. I personally like sideways movie posters too.

[mikkelmark]

The red/blue boxes with all the text is that a sticker, or on the print?

[Ashirg]

looks like a sticker....

[Frankinho007]

Looks awesome.

[Bleddyn Williams]

That is a delightful cover! Hopefully the book won't shrink like the 120-page "Sunrise" one! 56 pages sounds like it should happen just fine!

Releases like this are the definition of why I own a region-free player!

[Florinaldo]

Plus a new documentary.

I'm pretty sure it's the ARTE documentary!

Whatever the source, since it is listed as being from 2010, it would qualify as new, unless it is a repackaging of some sort.
