I saw this news on thedigitalbits earlier today, and I think this is one of the most amazing pieces of news in cinema history! All my life the only Metropolis I've ever been able to see has been incomplete, and now this treasure of historical significance, worthy of excavation by Indiana Jones, has been uncovered after 80 years of being thought lost forever. This is just awesome.

It would also be amazingly cool if other lost prints (like the complete version of London After Midnight, for instance) turned up like this during our lifetime.

Now try to imagine in the year 2027 (80 years from 1977), this headline:

"EXCITING news: lost "STAR WARS" original uncut negative FOUND!!!!!!!!!"

Yeah, right. We can only dream... ;)
