For unknown reasons, no one who died before the movie was made was allowed to work on the set.
Discriminatory practices of the time
Anti-zombie discrimination
D. 1976, 1996, 1987, 1937, 1955, etc. I would be worried if more of the cast was still alive.
I wonder, if we apply the strictest rule of “100 years after the death of the last co-author” for the work to enter the public domain worldwide in all jurisdictions (as some have life + 50, 70, and the longest is up to 100), how long do we have to wait to remix Metropolis with no legal repercussions? 71 years to go, more or less?
it has been public for several years
Since January 2023.
A good movie, worth a watch. I’m in the crazy revolutionary robot girl’s corner though.
Is she from the movie?
Yes, she’s the “revolutionary robot girl”
I’ve never seen this, but that looks like some really good special effects for being 100 years old.
That scene specifically was very highly regarded for the VFX, yes
Yes
Yes, I believe so
ShittyMovieDetails would enjoy this.
it took place in 2026
Originally, it didn’t have a specific year. The 1984 edit added that in.
The original novel even explicitly stated in the preface that it has no specific year.
