Lost Parts of Lang's Metropolis Found

I've never seen Metropolis, but I loved Lang's "Scarlet Street" (which is available for free download on the Internet Movie Archive).

Having seen the various previous versions of METROPOLIS I welcome this find with open arms. A three hour version should be amazing. Now all we need is Lon Chaney in LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT.
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.... John Rogers

Its one of those pieces that I've always wanted to see, but never found time. Here's hoping for a special edition release on DVD!

Saw Metropolis at Uni and was blown away by it. If they've re-released it with the found footage, I'll try to find it to see again.
Mornings wouldn't suck so badly if they came later in the day.
