Toomorrow has been restored in 2K by the British Film Institute and Deaf Crocodile from the original 35mm camera negative. This is the European release. The US edition, released by Deaf Crocodile in a limited run of 1,250 copies, features different cover artwork and includes a larger booklet.
This release is a significant improvement over both the British 2013 DVD and the 2024 DVD. The picture is noticeably sharper and clearer throughout. In some scenes, however, the colour grading has been pushed to an unrealistic level, although the effect is less pronounced than in some other modern restorations.
The illustrated booklet includes new writing on the film by Matthew Hild, an article on Val Guest by the BFI’s Dr Josephine Botting, and an essay by Jay Rathbone on Don Kirshner’s imaginary bands. The latter two pieces contain relatively little Olivia-related content. Matthew Hild’s contribution is similar to material found in his engaging 2026 Olivia biography, A Little More Love
.
Most of the bonus features are not directly related to either the film or Olivia. The exception is an interesting audio interview with Val Guest, which is accompanied by a selection of Toomorrow photographs.
