Long lost scenes from Metropolis (1927) Found in Buenos Aires

Anyone heard the rumor that the original print had belonged to an ex-Nazi?

Boy, I hate it when people make programs for German television and don't bother to make them in English! :)

Seriously, I'm excited about the Argentina find and I can't wait to see a restored copy, even if they can't fully restore the film. As I understand it, there is now only one scene not found. Other than that, it's complete.

2026??? I  heard it was supposed to take place in 1988.... and the first sci-fi to feature an android

If the damage on the film is like it is here even, in a compressed video, and doesn't look any better than the You Tube video... who cares ??? I'd still buy it just to finally see the whole film. The day I see even a scratchy copy is still going to be the best day of my life :)I absolutely love Metropolis

I get it: Now a scratchy, full-length copy of the film has turned up in an archive in Argentina

Class struggle set in 2026; more than 37,000 extras, 200,000 costumes - And cost $200 million in USD

Naturally it was the demands of the attention-challenged Americans that caused the studio to send it to the cutting floor

A complete version was never found, (the 2001 ver used stills to fill in the blanks), until now

The Argentine ver is said to have plus 25 mins

It is up to the Murnau fd now

Where can I get the 210 minute remake?

This is great! I too hope it's just damage in the transparent coating. I'm planning on showing the 2001 remastered version at a Gaming/SciFi convention in January.
