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

Not an emoticon, but this should do

I think I'll go for the Kino release!

:^o

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?

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

This looks awesome!



* 150-minute feature film (including 25 minutes of footage previously thought lost to the world)
* Special-edition packaging with lavish wraparound sleeve and embossed printing
* Pristine film transfers presented on Blu-ray (1080p) and DVD (2-disc)
* Newly translated optional English subtitles
* Full-length audio commentary by David Kalat and Jonathan Rosenbaum
* Die Reise nach Metropolis (2010) documentary about the film
* 56-page booklet featuring new essays, archival interviews, vintage production stills, and more

Stunning stuff can't wait to get my hands on it, and indeed see the film on the big screen =D>

W O W

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

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!

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

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

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

KINO will be handling the US release?

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!

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

"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.

Terrible. I hope that is not the cover.

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?

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.

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

looks like a sticker....

Looks awesome.

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!

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