 BBC - h2g2 - Dune - The Film
This is an error, as the original introduction placed the year as 10,191 in both the beginning and middle.The original introduction, and all the narration, was originally done by Virginia Madsen, who played Princess Irulan.
This narrator introduces many of the characters and explains what is going on in several scenes, but overall this interferes with the story and slows it down - the narration by Princess Irulan tied in with the novel better, and was done better.
Princess Irulan's role in this film is reduced to that of being in the background when the Emperor is in a scene.

The thing that separates Irulan from everybody else is that she is royal.
She has certain things that she can't escape from, in terms of her background and the role she is to play in the future.
So the creation of Irulan as a bigger character kind of pushes forward a lot of material that otherwise would have been difficult to get through.

 Frank Herbert's Sietch: Quotes from Dune
There were Duncan Idaho, the Swordmaster of the Ginaz; Dr. Wellington Yueh, a name fl in treachery but bright in knowledge; the Lady Jessica, who guided her son in the Bene Gesserit Way, and--of course--the Duke Leto, whose qualities as a father have long been overlooked.
Their attention was focused, too, on the mother, because they had heard she was a Bene Gesserit and it was obvious to them that she was like the other Lisan al-Gaib.
The Fremen were supreme in that quality the ancients called "spannungsbogen"--which is the self-imposed delay between desire for a thing and the act of reaching out to grasp that thing.

Because of this pressure, the leaders of such a community inevitably must face that ultimate internal question: to succumb to complete opportunism as the price of maintaining their rule, or risk sacrificing themselves for the sake of the orthodox ethic.
That was Count Hasimir Fenring, the genetic-eunuch and one of the deadliest fighters in the Imperium.

 DVD Verdict Review - Frank Herbert's Children Of Dune
However, Muad'Dib's wife of political convenience, Princess Irulan Corrino (Julie Cox), has been poisoning his concubine and true love, the Fremen woman Chani (Barbora Kodetová), in order to prevent her from conceiving an heir.
Meanwhile, on the House Corrino exile world of Saluca Secundus, Irulan's sister, Princess Wensicia (Susan Sarandon), constructs elaborate schemes for the overthrow of Muad'Dib and installation of her young son Farad'N as Padashah-Emperor.
Despite the fact its story is neither as smart nor as tightly-written as the original, it still manages to carve a place for itself near the top of the heap of television mini-series.

 The Great Library at Arrakis : Filmbook Section
The opening monologue by "Princess Irulan" (Played by Virginia Madsen) was a clever device at introducing the story as did the initial scenes with the homeworlds of the main players and Paul's study of the filmbook of Arrakis.
When Irulan is visiting Giedi Prime during Feyd's birthday celebrations, Fenring and the Baron leave her at the Gladiatorial ring to discuss issues (in the book Fenring and the Baron do discuss issues during Fenring's visit on Feyd's birthday, but Irulan was not there it was Lady Margot Fenring instead.
Another addition the the role of Irulan was her visit to Giedi Prime to fraternise with Feyd whilst gathering information (in the book it was Count Fenring and Lady Margot Fenring who went to observe Feyd).

 JS Online: 'Children of Dune' is tough trek
Reinhart, director Greg Yaitanes and his crew create a universe of visual splendors, from the hundreds of imaginative costumes - Princess Alia alone must change her finery 12 times in six hours - to the nightmarish sandworms, whose giant maws open to reveal whorls of fangs.
The only real disappointment is Sarandon, whose Wensicia is grumpy and petulant where she ought to be chilling and Machiavellian.
For a story where the female characters, from the magisterial Jessica to the watchful Irulan to the precocious Ghanima, are neither ornaments nor afterthoughts.

 Review: Frank Herbert's Dune, reviewed by Fred Bush
However, it allows the characters to interact in a more natural setting, and lets us focus our attention on their relationships and their actions rather than on the background, which is, after all, the background.
The biggest departure from the novel is in the juicy role created for the Princess Irulan (Julie Cox).
Her active presence throughout the miniseries is, I think, another step in making the series understandable and less complex; Irulan plays a large role in the denouement of the story, and her increased presence throughout makes the end result more intelligible.

 Dune
The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in.
The Fremen were supreme in that quality the ancients called "spannungsbogen"—which is the self-imposed delay between desire for a thing and the act of reaching out to grasp that thing.
He was warrior and mystic, ogre and saint, the fox and the innocent, chivalrous, ruthless, less than a god, more than a man. There is no measuring Muad'Dib's motives by ordinary standards.

 DVD Verdict Review - Frank Herbert's Dune
Those who have read the novel will know that Princess Irulan is invisible until the very end of the book, appearing only as a narrator, relating the events of the story through "historical" materials inserted as chapter headings.
In Harrison's version Irulan takes a much more active role, at least as observer if not an actual participant in the plots and counter-plots surrounding the Atreides/Harkonnen rivalry.
Cox is able to play Irulan as an interesting parallel to the role of Paul Atreides, a combination of naïvete and cunning, coming of age in the midst of an interstellar crisis.
