Finally, some casting has taken place for Lars Von Trier’s long-gestating Anitchrist, and it’s good enough to make it more than worth the wait. Variety reports that Willem Dafoe (pictured) and Charlotte Gainsbourg (I’m Not There) have signed on for the film.

Not a huge bit of news, but for those of us waiting to see what Lars von Trier will deliver to us with a straight-up horror movie, it’s good news nonetheless.

Back when Fritz Lang released what many consider to be his masterpiece, Metropolis, in 1927, it did so badly that the investors decided to cut out about 25% of the film and re-release it. Believe it or not, it actually did better (showing producers sometimes might know what the audience wants), but the cut footage has been thought lost ever since.

All right, so it’s not exactly timely, per se, but sometimes things fall through the cracks and it takes us a while to notice ‘em.
