Following rave reviews at the 60th Berlinale (Berlin International Film Festival) in February, Eureka Entertainment has announced the UK and Ireland cinema release of one of the biggest of all film finds – Fritz Lang's 1927 science fiction masterwork, Metropolis, newly reconstructed and restored, featuring almost 30 minutes of footage previously thought lost to the world. The cinema release date has been set for September 10, ahead of the Blu-ray release in late 2010 on the Masters of Cinema series.

Finally, for the first time in 83 years (since materials were cut and lost following the film's 1927 première), viewers can see the director's visionary epic on the big screen, in all its original glory.
