The Newly Restored Version Of Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS Streams Friday!? Can You Help With Details??
A few years ago we learned that a significant portion of long missing footage belonging to Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS had been located & that efforts to reassemble the film were underway (details HERE and HERE ).
Seems the restored METROPOLIS is now ready to debut. Roger Ebert's awesome Twitter feed (HERE ) indicates that said premiere will stream Friday at THIS URL.
I can't speak German, so I put the link Roger supplied through Google translator - and found little reference to a streaming event. Although, the there are one or two mentions of...something...happening:
"PUBLIC VIEWING: The world premiere of the reconstructed "Metropolis" version in Friedrichstadtpalast and publicly broadcast will be live at the Brandenburg Gate. On 12 February from 20:15"
You can read the entire Google translation HERE .
If anyone out there can offer more exacting details of the "broadcast"/streaming event,PLEASE DROP ME AN E-MAIL as I'd love to update this article with more pointed information.
Also, if any AICN readers will be attending this premiere, we'd love for you to share your in-depth perspectives of what you saw and how you feel. Be sure to drop us a line?
Tremendously excited to look upon a restored version of this film. METROPOLIS inspired me, and influenced me, in more ways than I can convey. This will be like seeing it new for the first time...and I'm stoked as hell.
More details a more come in...
