 From: Mike Street [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Producer Thomas Schuehly (Alexander) has acquired the remake rights
 to Fritz Lang's 1927 silent sci-fi classic Metropolis reports
 Variety.

 Considered one of the most expensive films of its time, the movie is
 set in 2026 in a massive city-state characterized by its monumental
 skyscrapers and art-deco architecture.

 The film depicts 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.

 Schuehly and Mario Kassar are currently in negotiations with a number
 of top directors to helm the pic, with a final decision expected in
 the next few months.
