Retailers are reporting that Kino Video's Blu-ray edition of
The Complete Metropolis, originally scheduled for release on November 16, will now come out a week later, on November 23. Disc details and special features for this silent classic directed by Fritz Lang are unchanged.
The date change is probably related to an issue with region coding: this Blu-ray was supposed to be locked to region A, just like Eureka's
Masters of Cinema release will be locked to region B. However, due to a miscommunication, the first pressing of Kino's release was not region coded. Kino Video has admitted the error and assured that future pressings will be region-A locked. The one-week delay will make it possible to issue correct discs from day one.
