Metropolis Reconstructed

Posted by chrisd on from the fredersen-is-the-link dept.

Matt W writes "The New York Times (free as in beer reg, blah blah) has an article about a recent reconstruction of Fritz Lang's Metropolis. After being butchered by studios, Martin Koerber and Alpha-Omega have restored most of the scenes and score. Film Forum on Houston St. in NY City will be showing the film for two weeks." Collect all three! I don't think they're using Georgio Morodor for the soundtrack for this one.

  1. Tom Hanks Does Metropolis by cybrpnk2 · · Score: 4, Informative

    There was an early Tom Hanks / Meg Ryan film called Joe vs. the Volcano which has the opening 15 minutes doing a GREAT takeoff on Metropolis - not camp or tongue in cheek, but a serious emulation with modern filmmaking. The rest of the movie was so-so to OK. Worth checking out.

    As brought to you by FilmThreat, an interview with Martin Koerber about "Metropolis."
