Website and trailer:

Its here, its out and I’ve finally seen it, It has 25 minutes of new scenes that really help flesh out the storyline, the movie flows so much better with the extra footage, the more they find of this film to restore its original vision the better it is.
The following will be of interest for those who know the film well:
Many short additional cuts now replaced
The scene of the monument to Hel, Freders mother
New scenes, the ENTIRE sequence from when worker Georgie leaves Freder in the Machine Hall but is drawn into the nightclub Yoshiwara’s, which includes an incredible photomontage sequence that I cannot imaging anyone being so stupid as to cut out.
More scenes of the debute of the robot Maria at Yoshiwara’s and Freders hallucinations which really help flesh out the sequence, including the Preacher becoming the Thin Man
Many more scenes with the Thin Man, including the This Mans cofronation with Josephat
Addtional footage of the fight between Joh Frederson and Rotwang, and of Maria escaping, but the innitial sequence is still missing
Additional scenes of the destruction of the machines
Many additional scenes of the destruction of the workers city and the saving of the children, including one very good scene of being trapped behind locked gates as the city floods, and the taking of the children to the city above.
The ENTIRE chase scene with Maria being discovered chased by the mob is now restored, this sequence works so smoothly now where before it was very disjointed.
There are still two key scenes missing, maybe forever, the preacher in the cathedral early on warning of impending doom, this scene can be glipsed at in a later restored scene where Freders hallucination morphes into the thin man becoming the preacher during robot Marias debute dance. The other missing key scene is the beginning of the fight between Joh Frederson and Rotwang the scientist, this may total no more than 5 minutes of missing footage.
In Addition the entire movie has been re-editted as a result of the Argentinian versions sequencing that make the story move along at a brisk pace and reveal a entirely new appreciation of how great a movie this once was and hopefully is once again.
Now the new scenes are rather poor quality from a 16mm print but anything is better than nothing, they just edited the new scenes right into the master, hopefully one day someone will pay to have these digitally restored, hopefully one day maybe the final missing sequences can be digitally recreated to FINALLY have a total complete restoration of this magnificent film.
