Directed by the legendary Fritz Lang (M, Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse,The Big Heat, etc.), its jaw-dropping production values, iconic imagery, and modernist grandeur – it was described by Luis Buñuel as “a captivating symphony of movement” – remain as powerful as ever.

Have pre ordered mine, this is the link metropolis1927.com or search google for it, you do have to pay upfront though 🙁 shame.
Yeah, it's a shame they want the money 3 months up front, but if you want the t-shirt then you have to do it. I've just pre-ordered mine from Play which is a little cheaper, and you pay for it when they send it to you.
Can't wait to see this!
I can't find a payment link on metropolis1927.com. How can I order it?!
Hi Goatrider,
Try this link, I checked it and it still works. Don't think you can get the tee any longer. Alternatively, you can order it from play. Hope this helps.
