Restored Metropolis UK Blu-ray Announced (Update)

Eureka Entertainment has officially announced Metropolis on Blu-ray for November 22. This "reconstructed and restored" version of Fritz Lang's silent classic (including 25 minutes of footage previously thought lost to the world) will be presented in two editions: a single-disc Blu-ray edition with "wraparound embossed sleeve", and a Dual Format SteelBook.

Special features include:

• Full-length audio commentary by David Kalat and Jonathan Rosenbaum
• Die Reise nach Metropolis (2010, 53 minutes), a documentary about the film
• 2010 re-release trailer
• 56-page booklet featuring archival interviews with Fritz Lang, a 1927 review by Luis Buñuel, articles by Jonathan Rosenbaum and Karen Naundorf, and restoration notes by Martin Koerber.

Region coding is still to be determined.

The SteelBook is already up for preorder at the Eureka online store. Advance orders are getting a free Metropolis T-shirt (offer ended today but has been extended to Friday, September 3 at midnight UK time).
