"All right... we've got one last post for you today, because this just couldn't wait until Monday. We've just heard back from our friends over at Kino International. The good news is that they have officially confirmed that the newly-discovered footage from Fritz Lang's original version of Metropolis (which we mentioned yesterday) WILL be a part of the forthcoming special edition Blu-ray Disc release in 2009. What's more, the new special edition will be released on standard DVD format as well on the same day. Watch for more details on this sure-to-be-amazing release in the weeks and months ahead."

Having though back on the Moroder fan-edit someone wanted to do with using Kino's visuals to sync the soundtrack to, I sorta wonder how much more interesting it could be to try syncing it up to the lost footage too? That would be bitchin' if attempted!
