Merrick again, again...
Below you'll find an embed featuring a countdown to a "live feed" from the impending METROPOLIS premiere.
In researching this matter over the last few days, I've noticed that such "feeds"/embeds tend to spool-up as if they're gonna work...and even serve you commercials and display ads leading into the program they're about to show...before aborting the feed with a message saying something to the effect of: "Live Feed is not available in your country." I'm presuming this is because they don't have broadcast rights/streaming rights into North America.
As such, I fully expect this stream to belly-up right about the time METROPOLIS is set to unfold - so don't get your hopes up too high. But, just in case some sort of miracle awaits, here it is...
The above embed originates HERE.
I'd like to offer a big shout-out to Richard for pointing us towards this, and express my gratitude once more to all our readers...particularly our overseas audience...who wrote in about the METROPOLIS premiere throughout the week. You've all been great.

Merrick again... Roger Ebert has posted two links through which ARTE TV's coverage of tomorrow's METROPOLIS premiere...coverage that will include an airing of the restored movie itself (as referenced below)...will supposedly be streamed & viewable in North America. You can find said links through THIS PAGE on his very fine blog. It should be noted that we've received close to 100 e-mails regarding whether or not the restored METROPOLIS will be streamed over The Net in a way that'll be viewable in North America tomorrow - none of our overseas readers could find any indication that Friday's event/premiere broadcast would actually be available to folks here in The States (with the exception of the recording services and other means referenced below). But, with several countries and at least two languages involved in covering this, there's certainly a margin for error. That said, I'm desperately, excitedly hoping that Roger's people are 100% right about this...because I want all of us to be able to see this movie tomorrow. The unveiling of this restored version is truly a remarkable moment in the histories of both science fiction & cinema in general, and being a part of it...even in such a remote manner...would truly be unforgettable. So, check the link to Roger's blog (above) and...if you have the time or freedom to do so tomorrow...tune in at the specified times to see what happens. Here's hoping we'll be rewarded. Best of luck...! >>>ORIGINAL STORY FOLLOWS<<<
