Oh, I hope I can get to this.

In April, Turner Classic Movies is headed for Hollywood and its first annual classic film festival. They're kicking it off with a newly-restored version of A Star is Born, the 1954 George Cukor version with Judy Garland and James Mason.

They're also screening the newly restored version of Fritz Lang's silent sci-fi masterpiece, Metropolis. This is the version they discovered in Buenos Aires last year, with 30 minutes of footage that hasn't been seen in decades.

Tickets are already on sale -- a touch pricey, but it looks like a great event.
