	SCIFI.COM \| Frank Herbert's Children of Dune
		As most of you know, all of Children of Dune was shot on soundstages in Prague, including its "exterior" scenes.
		When I first met visual-effects supervisor Ernest Farino and his associates Tim and Michelle, I told them that I wanted Children of Dune to blow away anything that had been on TV before and hold its own against such films as Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
		Children of Dune feels like a big movie, yet we needed to break it up for commercials.

	Children of Dune - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Children of Dune (TV miniseries) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frank Herbert's Children of Dune was the sequel to the Frank Herbert's Dune miniseries produced by the United States Sci Fi channel.
		His children, now heirs to his empire, are left in the care of their aunt Alia (Daniela Amavia), who is tortured by her own prescience.

	Journeys to Dune: Reviews
		Herbert uses the apparent lull (that is, Dune Messiah and Paul deconstructing his position) in the over-arching story of the series to good effect, and the opening two books are mirrored and refined by the rising and falling action of Children of Dune and God Emperor of Dune.
		Children of Dune follows Dune and Dune Messiah in a series that seems (up to this point at least) immune to the normal decrease in interest and importance that curse most sequels.
		The children of Dune are Leto and Ghanima, the twins borne by Chani, Paul's concubine, at the close of Dune Messiah, nine years old now, and at the centre of the swirl of scheming and conniving that keep the excitement level high.

	DVD Times - Children of Dune (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Set twelve years after the events of Dune which saw Paul Atreides (Alec Newman) avenge his father’s death and become emperor of the planet Arrakis (aka Dune), Children of Dune sees his revolution turn into a bloody holy war and his role as emperor become more akin to a dictatorship.
		As Children of Dune is the first screen adaptation of the Herbert novels Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, it escapes the shadow of David Lynch and as such can only be compared to its predecessor, and in a number of cases proves to be a marked improvement.
		Certainly this prevents Children of Dune from being that little bit too in awe of its source, though I suspect that Harrison’s input as producer has still ensured that it is to his liking.

	Children Of Dune by Brian Tyler @ Cinemusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Having listened to Children Of Dune on repeat to the point where the disc has begged for a break, I'm pleased that I was worried for nothing.
		Children Of Dune is simply the most accessible, and gratifying musical Dune journey this side of the Ghola Duncan (whever that is).
		With the Children Of Dune mini-series clocking in at over three hours, the score has been distilled into one album, making a surprisingly cohesive package, one where there's always something interesting transpiring -- which is important, because this album runs north of sixty-seven minutes (i.e., a long time).

	Children of Dune - feature
		As the focus shifts in parts two and three to Paul's children and the way House Atreides starts to eat itself away from within, Harrison keeps the potentially confusing plot clear and engaging.
		Children of Dune was co-produced and shown by The Sci-fi Channel in the US, but it is unclear at this time whether the company's European subsidiary holds first run rights as well.
		Children of Dune will be released on a Special Edition DVD in north America during May.

	: RevolutionSF - Frank Herbert's Children of Dune : Review
		Sure, "Children of Dune" is really more for the fans than for newcomers, and the special effects and some of the acting hurt more than they help.
		The costuming and set design were significantly less clever and creative in "Children of Dune," and at times the severe cut of the dark costumes gave me the feeling that this mini was more a sequel to Lynch?s "Dune" than the recent mini.
		The biggest difficulty I had with "Children of Dune," however, was that the arbitrary recasting of a wide range of characters left me confused and disoriented more than once, which is not good for a story of this complexity.

		Children of Dune is the sequel to the Sci-Fi Channel's Frank Herbert's Dune (2000), and surpasses that earlier mini-series in every way.
		The screenplay is again by John Harrison, who has combined Herbert's novels Dune Messiah and Children of Dune into three 84-minute TV movies, and continues the labyrinthine space opera with little concession to the uninitiated.
		The definitive war has yet to be waged and will see the Children of Atriedes – the Children of Dune – trapped amid a future so volatile, yet of their family’s very own creation.

	Pacific Views: Children of Dune
		Children is much better than all the film and video treatments of Dune.
		I liked the Sci-fi version of Dune much better, and I think the only portion of the book portrayed more faithfully by Lynch was the part where Paul and Jessica escape from the Harkonnen soldiers in the shuttlepod.
		Although they want the worm to keep on living there plan was to make dune botanical planet and where not influenced by spice and no care for it in the way the emperor etc did.Liets plan was to bring water to arrakis.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Children of Dune -- Greg Yaitanes - DVD - Wide Screen
		Officially based on two of Frank Herbert's science fiction novels, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, this three-part, six-hour miniseries was actually a sequel to the Sci-Fi Channel's multipart adaptation of the original Dune.
		It fell to Paul's twin children, Ghanima (Jessica Brooks) and Leto II (James McAvoy), to thwart the villainous machinations of the planet's deposed matriarch, Princess Wensicia (Susan Sarandon), and the beautiful but insane Princess Alia (Daniela Amavia).
		Like the previous Dune miniseries, this one was decked out with superlative special effects, excellent performances, on-target direction, and (most vital for any Herbert adaptation) a thoroughly logical and coherent teleplay.

	Filmtracks: Children of Dune (Brian Tyler)
		Frank Herbert's Children of Dune: (Brian Tyler) Until 2003, only the first of Frank Herbert's six Dune novels had been translated onto the big or small screen.
		Newcomer Brian Tyler received the job of scoring Children of Dune because he was the previous collaborator with the film's director, Greg Yaitanes.
		Tyler was given a basic structure of the music that the producers had in mind --orchestral, ancient, vocal, and a distinct departure from Revell's previous approach.

		Conspiracies abound in Children of Dune, Sci-Fi Channel's praiseworthy miniseries sequel to Frank Herbert's Dune, loyally adapted from the Herbert novels Dune Messiah and Children of Dune by John Harrison, who passed directorial duties (due to a scheduling conflict) to Greg Yaitanes, a 31-year-old TV director and Dune neophyte tackling his biggest assignment to date.
		Where as the costumes in Dune were downright 'kooky,' the clothes in CoD could be considered 'fasion.' The special effects were very well done for a television feature.
		Ok, in David Lynch's Dune, the Paul Atreides character was a horrible resprentation of the Muad'dib we imagined.

	Children of Dune - Brian Tyler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Claims that Frank Herbert's Dune is pretty well unfilmable seem to have been confirmed by both the infamous feature film and the more recent epic television series.
		Quite how its offspring, Children of Dune will do is anyone's guess, but at least one component seems in place and that's Brian Tyler's thunderous score.
		The opening few tracks grab the listener with massed brass and driving rhythms as the main themes are introduced, all of a vaguely heraldic nature, even if there is a slight nagging feeling that underneath all the surging orchestration, the tunes themselves are a touch simplistic.

	Frank Herbert's Children Of Dune Sci-Fi Channel Original Miniseries Review
		The theatrical cut of “Dune” was eventually re-released on VHS, laserdisc, and DVD in America through Universal Home Entertainment and it seemed that fans of “The Dune Chronicles” would have to satisfy themselves with both cuts of “Dune” and the novels for some time.
		By the end of “Frank Herbert’s Children Of Dune” the viewer is left with a sense of closure as well as a hint of what is to come if Sci-Fi should produce a third miniseries based on the fourth book in “The Dune Chronicles” entitled “God Emperor Of Dune,” which I hope they will.
		As a whole I found “Frank Herbert’s Children Of Dune” thoroughly entertaining and intriguing and think it is a worthy miniseries sequel to “Frank Herbert’s Dune” not to be missed.

	SoundtrackNet : Children of Dune Soundtrack
		Graeme Revell's score for the Sci Fi Channel's Dune (2000) was somewhat of a poor accompaniment to the epic tale by Frank Herbert brought to life in a five hour mini-series.
		Tyler surpassed all expectations and Children of Dune became one of the most popular soundtracks of 2003.
		Tyler's Children of Dune has been criticized for sounding too much like Hans Zimmer's Gladiator due to the extensive use of the duduk, as in "The Golden Path", but the instrument is an important sound for this score and the similarities end there.

	Children of Dune
		Since Dune Messiah is such a slim volume, it's been folded in with the third novel, Children of Dune, to create this six-hour miniseries.
		Some of the supporting acting, however, is downright dull: many of the actors mumble their lines in boring monotones in a variety of thick European accents.
		Overall, Children of Dune is a worthy continuation of the epic begun in Frank Herbert's Dune.
