I can verify that at least as of last summer, he intended to get the DVD released. He said so point-blank to the crowd at a Recordtime Roseville appearance. -----Original Message----- From: Mark S.

When Grammenos and I saw Metropolis here in NYC last summer I seem to recall Jeff saying that he intended to do a DVD release, and that he had permission to do so. Of course this all may very well have changed since last summer. The plan is/was to place both his first edit of the film (more of a Mega-mix kind of thing) along with the final one and the sountrack all on the same disc. As to the film, I have been a fan of Lang's film ever since I first saw it in my pre-teen years. When I first picked up the Metropolis "12 on Axis, while I kind of dug it, I knew I wouldn't fully appreciate it until seeing Mills' edit of the film...and I was right too;-) The NY screening wasn't quite as mad as the London one sounds, the crowd here was definitely skewed towards the filmista set as opposed to a techno crowd. We also got a question/answer session with Jeff after the film, which doesn't sound as it would have quite come off at the London screening.
