Several television versions of Wyndham's man-vs-plants apocalypse tale have been produced (1981, 2009), the work has been adapted for radio as well. TRIFFIDS previously appeared as a feature film back in 1962 - trailers for which appear below. And, of course, plans are to shoot this newest version in 3D. More at Variety.
