Fritz Lang's science fiction masterpiece is set for its Blu-ray debut on the 22nd November in the UK, when it will be available as both a standard edition and a limited edition steelbook with both the Blu-ray and DVD editions inside. Currently enjoying a limited theatrical release around the country, the disc will contain the 150-minute reconstructed version of the film, with the 25 minutes of footage previously thought to have been lost.
In addition to this, the film will be in 1080p with a brand-new recording of Gottfried Huppertz's score in 5.1, although whether this is DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD isn't specified. The subtitles have also been tweaked with a newly translated set, plus there are the original German intertitles too. Here are the special features:
Audio commentary with David Kalat and Jonathan Rosenbaum.Die Reise nach Metropolis. A 53-minute documentary on the film.2010 re-release trailer.56-page booklet with interviews, articles and notes on the restoration.The official site still adds 'and more' to the bottom of the special features list, so we can expect a few surprises when the time comes. The price is high for the steelbook - £29.99 - but it can be pre-ordered for a little less, while the standard edition is priced at £24.99.
