Yeah, Metropolis is great, and one of those films that needs a good remake (Silent Film is a separate artform from Talkies, were remade extensively as technology improved, and in most cases, everyone involved is long dead, therefore remake without guilt.)

It was already remade for sound.

It was called Blade Runner.

I don't want to see a Metropolis remake. Ever. I just want the Moroder version on dvd.

I want that newly found newly-completel print in Argentina.

I think I stated earlier that we may have it as early as first quarter 2010. I want it too, badly. Complete version of my favorite film ever? Yes, please.

Oh sorry about that mate. My fault.

And yeah, awesome news.

How did those 70s/early 80s kung fu films get into the public domain anyway? While we're at it, is Jesse Ventura's film "Abraxas" PD or are the rights just really cheap? Ive seen several bargain bin versions of that film.

I tought King Kong(1933) was in public domain for at least 30 years.

Yeah there was a big case between Nintendo and Universal over Donkey Kong.

When you talk about public domain it is very confusing. There are tons of loopholes and things.

Cool, that was actually fun to read.
