	Dune Movie
		Dune's problems unfolded over many decades and involved hundreds of people: producers, writers, artists, designers, musicians and directors, who tried in vain to bring Herbert's classic science fiction novel to the screen.
		In most cases, Dune projects failed because no one seemed capable enough of writing a script that was both comprehensive and good enough to be made into a movie.
		Dune was alien terrain for Lynch, and despite the brilliant director's talents for showcasing the whimsical, no one could digest the intricacies of Frank Herbert's Dune in one sitting and then churn out a script.

	Dune universe - Dune Wiki
		The Dune universe (or Duniverse) is the fictional universe (including characters, events and setting) created by Frank Herbert in his Dune novels.
		After the success of the 2000 miniseries Frank Herberts Dune several ideas for a TV series based on Dune were explored, but none of them have, to date, came to fruition.
		The clans were groups of players of Dune 2000 and Emperor: Battle for Dune who joined together in seperate groups in order to enhance there enjoyment of the game and to foster rivalries.

	Dune versus Dune
		Dune became popular and so did Grandpa thanks to what was actually in the book (Is that a Maker on the cover, or are you just happy to see me?).
		Other notables in both versions were Duncan Idaho (Richard Jordan in the movie, James Watson in the miniseries), Emperor Shaddam IV (Jose Ferrer in the movie, Giancarlo Giannini in the miniseries), Shadout Mapes (Linda Hunt in the movie, Jaroslava Siktancova in the miniseries), and Stilgar (Everett McGill in the movie, Uwe Ochsenknecht in the miniseries).
		Although Harrison had to change some things for the miniseries (most notably the expansion of Princess Irulan's role and Jessica throwing up to show her pregnancy), his adaptation was far superior.

	UGO.com Film/TV - Frank Herbert's Dune DVD review
		Dune, for those few not familiar with the story, is set in a distant galaxy in the year 10991.
		As political as it is fantasy, Dune follows Paul, the heir to the Atreides throne, as he joins forces with native opposition forces in their quest to liberate their planet.
		Dune is presented in 1.77:1 anamorphic widescreen, and boy does it show.

	Dune (TV miniseries) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The miniseries also invented an extensive subplot for Princess Irulan, a character who played little part in the plot of the first novel (she was, in fact, only in a single scene at the end).
		However, in the book it is a different Bene Gessirit, Margot Fenring, who visits the Harkonnen heir, on assignment from the Bene Gessirit to "preserve the bloodline" by retrieving his genetic material (through conception) for their breeding program.
		The miniseries and its sequel were two of the three highest-rated programs ever to be broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel [2].

	Review of Frank Herbert's Dune
		Dune was once controlled by House Harkonnen, but the Emperor has given Dune to House Atreides, sworn enemy of the Harkonnen.
		The Children of Dune miniseries gave Harrison a chance to fix up some mistakes; Stilgar in particular is better cast, while the aforementioned role of Princess Irulan continues strongly, and the twin children of the title are probably the best part of the project.
		I realize that this miniseries has the advantage of sequels (both in book form, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, and the miniseries that adapted both books, Children of Dune) that examine this issue, but the groundwork that's already here is still superior to the same attempts in the Verhoeven film.

	SciFi Frank Herberts Children of Dune Miniseries Review
		The SciFi "Frank Herbert's Children of Dune" miniseries came out almost 20 years after the David Lynch movie version and just over two years after the first Sci Fi Dune Miniseries.
		While the first SciFi Dune miniseries was billed as "Frank Herbert's Dune", it was a wildly loose version that drastically changed many characters and created scenes.
		Where I cringed many, many times during the first miniseries because of the sheer annoyance of the bad acting or bad sets, I was very eager to re-watch this one when I could.

	Frank Herbert's Chidren Of Dune: Two-Disc Set DVD 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.
		Having seen the miniseries already on VHS screeners provided by the network for review purposes before the miniseries premiered and then having caught it during several airings on Sci-Fi, I could say without a doubt that this is the best looking and sounding presentation of “Frank Herbert’s Children Of Dune” that I have seen yet.
		What I did not like about the way the miniseries is presented is that right before the end credits for parts one and two are about the start, they are cut and the viewer gets a still stating “the saga continues” before being returned to the menu screen.

	Dune Miniseries, Frank Herbert
		In Part I of the miniseries, Dune is transferred by Imperial decree from House Harkonnen to their sworn enemy House Atreides.
		Meanwhile, the Harkonnens (having regained control of Dune) are brutal in their insistence that Spice quotas be met, and try viciously to suppress a guerilla insurrection led by a mysterious person called "Muad'Dib" (unknown to them, Paul is leading the insurrection under his Fremen name).
		Part III concludes the tale as the Emperor, impatient at the delays in restoring normalcy to Dune, decides to move his Imperial headquarters to Dune and use the Sardaukar (his elite fighting force) to destroy the Fremen.

	Dune TV MiniSeries, not so bad... not perfect!
		unfortunately the miniseries doesn't allow for as much character development as she could have had.
		All in all, Dune is an above average miniseries, especially for basic cable, and I have got to applaud the risks that were taken here.

		Dune cinematographer Vittorio Storaro (left) preparing a shot on the set.
		The set obviously contains the miniseries itself, split over three discs, which is good because not only do you get the anamorphic widescreen video everyone's been waiting for, spreading it over three discs means that the video bit-rates are that much higher, allowing for better quality.

	'Dune' Miniseries Will Take Book Seriously
		The companies responsible for bringing Frank Herbert's venerable science-fiction epic Dune to television promise that the series will not only "be a visual milestone" -- as was David Lynch's unevenly received 1984 cinematic version -- but will treat the text with the respect due a genre classic.
		BetaFilm is producing the six-hour miniseries for the Sci Fi Channel in cooperation with U.S. production house New Amsterdam Entertainment, previously known for its television versions of Stephen King's The Stand and Merlin.
		Frank Herbert's Dune is scheduled to air in October.

	Liquidtheater.Com: Dune the Miniseries
		Dune might very well be the best science fiction story ever told.
		Reading Dune throughout college really made me wonder how a single man, Frank Herbert, could come up with the incredibly intricate political games that are played throughout the 4000 year periods of the six books.
		Dune is shot at 1.85 to 1, but is not 16x9 enhanced and only includes a Dolby Pro-Logic soundtrack.

	Children Of Dune
		It's a tough job, especially as unlike the first book Dune, they are dealing with a book that's more of a Byzantine morality tale on human's folly, the futility of prophecy, and anything else you choose to see in Frank Herbert's often too-consciously self important prose.
		She performed an important deed in Dune, but Frank Herbert believes that women that act outside the guidance of their men are evil and should be punished (see also the villainess Wensicia Corrino - and don't get me started on Susan Sarandon's overly campy "acting"), so Alia is humiliated to shreds in Children Of Dune.
		But because these women conform to the guidances of their male authority figures or they act only to further the interests of their menfolk, they are loved while everyone is happy to condemn and kill Alia when they could be helping her instead.

	Sci Fi channel's timely miniseries
		That is the very timely story line of "Frank Herbert's 'Children of Dune,' " a six-hour Sci Fi miniseries based on the second and third novels in the best-selling science fiction series written by Herbert three decades ago.
		A follow-up to the original "Dune" miniseries, which won two Emmy Awards and record ratings for Sci Fi, "Children of Dune" is a sprawling, complex tale that continues the story of the Atreides family, rulers of Arrakis, a turbulent desert planet also known as Dune.
		In the first miniseries, the Atreides family is sent to Arrakis by the emperor of the intergalactic Great Royal Houses, with the task of overseeing production of "spice" -- a precious life-enhancing commodity available only on Arrakis.

	Dune: The Miniseries (Soundtrack) by Graeme Revell
		With Toto's heavy electronic influence in the 1984 score, the selection of Graeme Revell as the composer for this new millennial rendition of the story, and the fact that this is a made-for-tv-event (granted a six hour, $20 million, tv-event) it seems reasonable to have expected another strong electronic score.
		This ethnic edge seems to fit the desert setting of the planet, Dune and is a natural musical fit in describing the Fremen.

	Review of Children of Dune miniseries
		Children of Dune, written by John Harrison from Dune Messiah and Children of Dune by Frank Herbert, directed by Greg Yaitanes, 2002, 266 min.
		In comparison to the first miniseries, the acting seems improved, the computer-generated effects, while obvious, support the story, and the music is interesting and appropriate.
		Herbert set up the world of Dune on the scarcity of spice (among other things that were going on), and all kinds of weird political and religious elements grow out of this one thing.

		The miniseries is set to air in late 2001 on the Sci Fi Channel.
		In that film, a man in need of a heart transplant makes a deal with the devil, only to uncover that the underbelly of hospital politics is stuffed with ill-gotten organs.

	Dune
		The new Legends of Dune series consists of Dune: the Butlerian Jihad (Tor, September 2002), Dune: the Machine Crusade (Tor, September 2003), and Dune: the Battle of Corrin(Tor, August 17, 2004).
		Dreamer of Dune is the fascinating story of my father from three angles: how he created the "Dune" universe, the remarkable love he shared with my mother (Beverly Herbert), and the troubled relationship I had with him as a child that became close when I was an adult.
		While there are many more important stories to tell in the Dune universe, Brian and Kevin have decided that the next major project they will undertake—the next story the fans want to read—is DUNE 7, based on a detailed outline Frank Herbert left in a safety deposit box before his death.

	Frank Herbert's Children Of Dune Sci-Fi Channel Original Miniseries Review
		Now this miniseries sequel is set to make it’s premiere on the Sci-Fi Channel on Sunday, March 16, 2003, at 9pm (ET/PT) with the other two parts airing on Monday, March 17, 2003 (ET/PT), and Tuesday, March 18, 2003 (ET/PT) respectively.
		The quick pace serves the miniseries well because there is more action and less introduction and whatnot that was present in the first miniseries.
		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.

	The Landsraad
		Both are Frank Herbert titles, for various stories he was writing in his Dune universe - and should give the fans some clue about the direction we intend to take with each novel.
		Since there are twelve Dune novels preceding “Dune 7,” we could not tell the climactic story in one novel, and needed to do it in two books.
		We also hope to publish THE ROAD TO DUNE in the spring of 2006, which will be a collection of unpublished chapters and scenes written by Frank Herbert, along with essays and other commentary.

		I recall being impressed by this miniseries when local television showed it sometime around late 2000 or early 2001.
		As I recall, critics of the miniseries at the time found the style pretentious and the acting wooden.
		It's interesting to note that the Dune miniseries is essentially an in-studio production.

	Frank Herbert's Children of Dune (TV Miniseries) DVD Review
		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.
		To his horror, Maud'Dib--Arrakis emperor Paul Atreides (Alec Newman, reprising his Dune role)--has become the unintended figurehead of a violent dictatorship, and his enemies are multiplying.
		Vanishing into the desert, he waits as destiny shapes his twin heirs Leto II (James McAvoy) and Ghanima (Jessica Brooks), who must contend with their scheming aunt Alia (Daniela Amavia) while Princess Wensicia (Susan Sarandon), of the enemy House Corrino, plots her own attack on Maud'Dib's familial empire.
