Metropolis reborn!

Thanks to masonk for calling my attention in chat to this story.

One of cinema's most elusive holy grails, a complete print of the original version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, has been discovered in a museum in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Up to this point, the only surviving versions of the film have been the recut version that lost about a quarter of the director's original vision.

This is some big news.

I don't know, it's just like any other scifi film - After the studio's gotten everyone to buy the DVD, they release a special edition director's cut to make you buy the movie again. :)
