Images and Descriptions of Found ‘Metropolis’ Footage Online

Things seem to be moving very quickly already

Maria’s escape…

Several scans and images from the found Metropolis footage have appeared online.

First off, over at Zeit Online they have six images from the footage in quite impressive clarity considering they are fresh off the found reel. You can check those out here and I have linked it with a German to English translation, just hit the forward arrows to check out all the images.

Next up, AICN has several scans of the footage including one massive image featuring several frames which appear to be playing out Maria’s attempt to escape with the others toward the end of the film as well as one of Joh Fredersen’s visit to the Hel statue.

You can check all of those out here and there is apparently giong to be an event previewing the footage today, which seems awfully rushed if you ask me. I just hope they don’t do anything to damage the footage in their haste to get this out in the open.

This film is in my Netflix queue and I am excited to see it. But now I don’t know if I should wait until the restored film is released.
