Metropolis
12/11/07 - Thomas Schuehly acquired the remake rights to Fritz
Lang's classic SF movie Metropolis and is partnering with
Mario Kassar on an updated version of the 1927 movie. Considered
one of the most expensive films of its time, Metropolis is
set in 2026 in a massive city-state characterized by monumental
skyscrapers and art-deco architecture. The film is about the class
struggle between the wealthy society of planners and thinkers, who
live in luxury high above the Earth, and the workers, who live
underground, toiling to sustain the lives of the privileged.
