One of the metropolitan areas which Moroder's Metropolis will hit are Anchorage, Bay Area, North Park, Miami Beach, Chicago, Albany, Charleston, Dallas, Houston, Olympia, Dallas, and Washington Electricity., The only real Canadian stop to date is Vancouver. The DVD and Blu-ray models will include a documentary searching at Moroder's restoration of Metropolis game titles The Diminishing Image, along with the movie's trailer.
