iTunes Movie Trailers has released the trailer for the restored, 99%-complete version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, showcasing some of the new footage. If you have any traces of cinephelia in you, it'll probably make you giddy (I'm guessing this based on my own reaction).

Ain't It Cool News has reported that the newly restored version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, which was revealed to the public on February 12 at the Berlin Film Festival, is set to begin its theatrical run this month! On April 25, the film will have its U.S.

Update 02.12.2012: It looks as though most of us won't get to stream this after all. Rog has just posted a message on his Twitter account saying that he has learned the film is streaming to everywhere except the U.S. What a rip.

Film aficionados rejoice! Variety brings the good news that Fritz Lang's seminal 1927 science fiction film Metropolis will be shown in its complete form on February 10, 2010, by the Berlin Film Festival.
