The Complete Metropolis Blu-ray delayed one week, available now on Netflix streaming
One item not on our list of weekly Blu-ray releases is the much anticipated The Complete Metropolis, which Blu-ray.com informs has been delayed due to region coding issues. Interestingly, the pushback hasn't stopped an HD stream of the new version with 25 minutes of recently recovered footage from popping up on Netflix today so if you just have to see this classic silent flick from 1927 in its entirety, Watch Instantly has your back. The discs aren't available yet so the special features will have to wait, but at least it's an option.
Kino Lorber announces The Complete Metropolis Blu-ray with newly recovered footage
Film lovers should add another must-buy to their list, now that The Complete Metropolis is coming to Blu-ray for the first time on November 16. This version includes the recently recovered 25 minutes of extra footage that debuted in theaters earlier this year after being lost for 80 years since its debut in 1927. The lost footage couldn't be completely restored to match the quality of the rest, but fans of this classic silent film should still appreciate the experience, including the original score presented in DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround, and a 50-minute Voyage to Metropolis documentary in high definition. If you've somehow avoided references to Fritz Lang's classic in films like The Matrix, check out the trailer after the break, or another cut of the movie that's currently available on Netflix Watch Instantly.
