The German Murnau Foundation, dedicated to film preservation, reported that long-lost portions of Fritz Lang's seminal silent SF movie Metropolis have been discovered in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Staff members of the Museo del Cine Pablo C. Ducros Hicken in the Argentine capital found the missing Metropolis scenes in a 16mm negative.
The Wiesbaden-based Murnau Foundation plans to incorporate the scenes--which reportedly restore narrative logic and clarify Metropolis' story--into a new, restored version of the movie, in cooperation with the Argentine film museum.
The newly discovered Metropolis scenes include the character of Georgy in his "reduced" state, a character named Slim and his transformation into an apocalypse-preaching monk and a car journey through the city of Metropolis.
