Hmmm...can the long lost Conrad Veidt/Bela Lugosi/F.W. Munrau  DER JANUS KOPHF or the test footage of Bela in FRANKENSTIEN (1931) be far behind?



And the footage/dialog track of Bela's cut lines in FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN!

If you're an Andy Milligan fan there's no hope for you.

Also the antology of Monogram/PRC clips narrated by Bela for the lost British LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS!

This is great news!  Hopefully the new footage contains some salacious red light district footage that was too hot for 1927!

That might come true! I just read yesterday some prostitute related scenes are in there that were deemed to juicy for US distribution. As I understood it, the only version available until now was the US distribution.

1927 was pre-code movies and some of those were fairly racy for their time. Now I don't recall the when the official US release was, so it could have been released post code which at that time racy scenes would have been cut.

Either way I hope they don't poke around or the release, restored or not I want to see the nearly complete film.

The movie I want more than any other in the world is 1914's Der Golem/Monster of Fate.

I haven't seen this one or the second Golem movie of Wegener's sort-of-triology, "Der Golem und die Tänzerin/The Golem and the dancer". But while waiting for it, the third "part" is available at archive.org. (Der Golem und wie er in die Welt kam / The Golem: How he came into the world). Good one! But I have to admit I have seen it a couple of years ago on TV and not the internet archive stuff as I have yet to figure out how it works...

This is absolutely fantastic news. I had read about this yesterday over at AICN.

I hope  that they can restore the additional footage to actually reinsert it into the actual film and not have to offer it just a supplement on the DVD.

Can't wait!    :thumbup:
