Missing footage from the 1927 silent film “Metropolis” that was directed by Fritz Lang and written by Thea Von Harbou has been found at a museum in Buenos Aires, Argentia. The musuem privately showed the lost “Metropolis” version to journalists last Thursday. The museum director says that is the only copy of the completed version of “Metropolis”. The musuem officials say that this is Fritz Lang original version that he intended to release before but it was too long, so Fritz released the shorter version to the public. “Metropolis” is a futuristic science ficiton film that has been very popular for years.

I doubt they will release this version to DVD/BluRay, in my opinion, they shouldn’t. They should respect the film’s history and only show it to people in that musuem.
