North Americans take heed! Kino has announced theatrical dates and a DVD/Blu-Ray release of the restoration of Fritz Lang's Metropolis (now called The Complete Metropolis). This 147 minute version, which played at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year, includes 25 minutes of lost footage discovered in 2008 and the original score by Gottfried Huppertz.

The first theatrical dates will occur in Los Angeles and New York in mid-April. A nationwide theatrical release will commence on May 7th. The home video release will follow in November 2010.

A new Metropolis web site, which will feature complete annotations for the new footage, will go live on April 15th. Be sure to check in for screenings in your area.
