This is my first post, so be gentle.

The thing I find interesting about this whole thing that it was found so long ago. Now there's a huge search for it, presumably at the UCLA archives, if this is correct. For a long time, we thought that the original length of Metropolis reels were long gone. This year (or last), they were found in an archive, just sitting there. This movie was thought to be long gone, lost forever never to be seen again. No one had ever thought that something like this would have ever come up ever again. Many film historians would have scoffed at the idea of it being around if someone claimed they had a copy of it. It would have been laughable. But it was found and we all said "Wow!" and myself, sat there stunned reading the news on The Digital Bits Now it's being faithfully restored and due to be released next year, thankfully, on to DVD and Blu-Ray. But I have always thought that there has to be copies of certain films just not in vaults laying around since they really didn't keep archives well like we do now. When I was told about this film a long time ago, I scoffed at the idea that this film would be forever lost and there had to be a copy of it somewhere, be it in a private collection gathering dust (like Metropolis) or in a vault, forgotten or mislabeled. But alas, this could be the case now, somewhere in UCLA where hopefully, they find that copy. I'm very weary that this is real, but something keeps nagging at me saying this could very well be real. It happened with Metropolis, maybe…just maybe. Harry at AICN is now thinking the story isn't possibly a fairy tale (saying it nicely) which gives me some credence to the story itself. I personally refuse to jump on the bandwagon and call it a bunch of lies or what have you. This is way too public and with the internet it just got bigger and if its false, he's going to have more than just egg on his face. I just hope it's the real deal.
