He and Miller got on well and the director subsequently hired Hayes to help on the script for Mad Max 2 (1981). Hayes subsequently moved to Hollywood, becoming an in-house writer for Kennedy Miller, working on the scripts for all their subsequent mini-series. Further work included a script for Dead Calm in 1989 and an unused screenplay for Planet of the Apes, titled Return of the Apes in 1994.
