What is the best copy out there for this film? I know there is no Blu-ray yet, but am looking for a widescreen edition.
Yes! I was first introduced to 'Triffids' at school and went on to read many more of his particularly British stories. This foray into Sci Fi led me to Asimov and Clarke and is probably why I enjoy so many Sci Fi films....Has anyone ever read the original story by John Wyndham?
So Robert, what happened to all of his work? Is someone else picking up the torch and running to complete it in Mikes name? That seems like the thing to do, to not let all of Mikes work go for naught!!!Mike was my assistant on two projects, and I could never have asked for a more dedicated or professional comrade.
He owned Triffids and had been working tirelessly to clean the OCN for the past decade - by hand. He was a perfectionist, who would not go digital.
He will be incredibly missed.
Don't know what his situation was. No family of which I'm aware. His brother passed away several years ago.So Robert, what happened to all of his work?

Ahhh, Mike—Mike Hyatt was a wonderful man and a dear friend for thirty years. He was a sweet, kind, and gentle soul.
We first met in 1994 when he was at Goldwyn Studios working on MY FAIR LADY and had so many great times together over the years.
Here's Mike with Jack Theakston and myself in 2010 when he visited New York to premiere his work-in-progress 35mm restoration of DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS at MoMA. And later in 2017 with Greg Kintz during a delightful day spent sightseeing in Griffith Park. There were fascinating conversations about film, restoration projects and always lots of laughs. He had a wonderfully dry and infectious sense of humor.
His sudden passing came as a shock to all of us. He is missed.
Rest assured; he made his wishes known on TRIFFIDS.
Please ask no questions as I can say nothing further at this time. May he rest in peace.
