Preview: Metropolis (2010)

Synopsis:

A re-release of the Fritz Lang classic featuring 25 minutes of lost footage.

• Poster: A

Review:

It's a classic image from a classic film. It's that eye-catching promotion that should bring the fans out to see it.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

While it's great to see many of these images from the film, I'm a bit chagrined by the fact that the few samples of additional footage being spliced in are of a grainy and non-comparative quality. You would have expected the makers to want to clean up the lost footage before editing it in. But, I guess the premise of making tons of money will help them restore it later...hopefully.

Oscar Prospects:

Not a new release. Ineligible.

Release Date:

• April 25, 2010
