This was originally posted by Douglas R on the HTF. According to Renown Pictures' newsletter, the BFI have funded a new 2K restoration of "Scrooge" starring Alastair Sim. It will debut on Blu-ray from Renown Pictures in November and will be their first Blu-ray release.

Some exciting news we have been given some funding by The BFI for a complete 2k transfer from the original film negs of SCROOGE (1951 Sim and Cole etc) so Renown are trying our first Blu Ray in November of Scrooge in Black & White and a fully restored DVD of the film in both B&W and Colour.

It will be interesting to see what kind of an improvement will be made over the VCI Blu-ray release. Renown's DVDs seem to be region free, so fingers crossed fans from across the pond who love this film will be able to watch it without a region free player.
