The toughest thing about ‘Frank Herbert’s Dune’, presented on the SciFi Channel in 2000, was that all Dune fans knew, objective KNEW, there’d be comparisons made between it and David Lynch’s theatrical release. Although the strong casting, new-found special effects and costumes made Lynch’s version a film to be reckoned with, it detached felt unbalanced and lost amidst the deeply textured background world that Frank Herbert created.
The 2000 miniseries gave us more of the actually pages of Dune translated to the cover, but it’s acting, costumes and special effects were lacking.
So, to my surprise, what should appear but a unusual miniseries with reprising roles and some unique cast members for Frank Herbert’s Children of Dune on the SciFi Channel. Goodbye comparisons. We entered unusual screenplay territory since no theatrical version of any other Herbert novels has ever made it out to the public.

A fantastic presentation, Frank Herbert’s Children of Dune combines the Dune Messiah and Children of Dune novels into this novel miniseries and does so with one magnificent motion. Well, almost beautiful.
I don’t know WHY the SciFi Channel feels the need to support a “immense name” in these films. William Distress didn’t relieve the first miniseries with his ‘Hurtful’ acting. Likewise, I felt Mrs. Sarandon did nothing to wait on in the release of this film/mini. Her character was cardboardish and unimaginative. No action titillating her at all. Nothing that seemed to abet go the storyline along.
Uncharacteristically (and thankfully) Alec Newman reprises his role as Paul (and the recent Preacher) and does so with powerfully strong acting (the true opposite of what I saw from him in the new miniseries) . Julie Cox was incredible as Irulan, Jessica Krige excellently portrayed an aging Lady Jessica, and James McAvoy WAS Leto II. Jessica Brooks balanced the role of Ghanima perfectly by playing Leto’s twin sister. And Daniela Amavia was P-E-R-F-E-C-T as the possessed and tortured Alia (preborn sister of Paul) . She’s also quite an atractive lady.

The costumes (thankfully) were also ‘toned-down’ a bit, so the titanic head-dresses and triangular suit attachments are gone. The budget for the special effects were increased (to mountainous advantage) . Loved the worms, the thopters, Alia’s temple. Extraordinary cinematography utilizing blue screens.
And the Grand shocker: the musical secure! Brian Tyler! You the man! A factual triumph as far as scores go, the music presented in this miniseries is certain to earn the soul flee, or plummet into the Enormous Erg as appropriately presented by Mr. Tyler’s acquire.
This miniseries is the recent 5 star TV production for the SciFi Channel, and rightfully so. A presentation worth owning…on DVD.
If I were to settle the best film adaptation of Dune, this miniseries would glean, hands down. Not because it’s suitable to the book, not because of special effects, but it would earn because entire series is endearing and the performances of the cast are memorable. This production took characters that were hard to report to because of their super-human abilities and turned them into people we could care about. What sets this treatment of Dune apart from all others is the dynamic performances of the cast.

Alec Newman, Julie Cox, Barbara Kodetova, P.H. Moriarty, Zuzana Geislerova, and Ian MacNeice reprise their roles as Paul, Irulan, Chani, Gurney, Rev. Mother Mohiam, and the Baron. Even the Newcomers to the cast are: James McAvoy as Leto II, Jessica Brooks as Ghanima, Daniela Amavia as Alia,
Alec Newman *owns* the role of Paul in CoD. While his performance seemed shakey at times in Dune, he embodies the majesty of Muad’Dib and convincingly portrays the allotment of a tormented monarch in this sequel.

Julie Cox steals the expose away everytime she appears. Some complained that the script took (major) liberties concerning Irulan–mainly by giving her more appearances and lines than the book ever afforded her, and making her more likable–but I say anything that gives Julie Cox a chance to appear on conceal to flex her acting muscles is a friendly decision. She plays a very convincing imperial princess with her body language (she has probably the best posture I’ve ever seen, but she absolutely shines portraying a fiery personality trapped by her dwelling in life.
As with Alec Newman, Barbara Kodetova reprises her role with great more maturity than in the first series. In CoD, Alec and Barbara both advance benefit with stronger performances and better chemistry.
Speaking of chemistry, however, there was so great of it between the actors playing the twins it was wonderful to me that they weren’t dating in right life. James McAvoy, in particular, brings so mighty spirit and warmth to his role that he brought much-needed levity to the role of Leto by adding humor and warmth to his performance. Jessica Brooks brings thoughtful, pensive Ghanima to life respectably well. It should be eminent that the twins are portrayed as teenagers in the miniseries, which I reflect a wise decision to acquire them more relatable and easier to behold for first-time viewers.
Though I had loved Saskia Reeves’ Jessica, Alice Krige takes a turn in Lady Jessica’s shoes very well. She fleshes out the allotment of the Atreides matriarch and delivers a very reserved performance, which is befitting the cautious Jessica in the book. Edward Atterton (who played Arthur in TNT’s ‘The Mists of Avalon’ and has appeared on shows like ‘Firefly’ and ‘Alias’) plays a wonderfully convincingly warrior-mentat. Daniela Amavia’s gut-wrenching, explosive performance as Alia was highly engrossing to observe, and her last scene brought so noteworthy more emotion to the events than the book afforded it. Daniela, Alice, and James came together so well in Alia’s last scene that many people who saw it were teary-eyed after watching it–it had me in tears. The book, however, didn’t near anywhere reach that level of emotional impact.
I belief Susan Sarandon’s performance was tolerable–nothing great–but I assume it is unfair to blame her. She was horribly miscast. In a present where almost everybody had an accent of some sort, Susan’s thoroughly American accent was completely out of position. Add that on top of the fact that her performance wasn’t as strong as some of the others, and no wonder she’s being singled out as the faded link. She’s unprejudiced not at home playing a science-fiction villain.
As far as costumes, special effects, and props go, I enjoyed each of them immensely. The costumes are unexcited a bit quirky, but they are grand more subdued and realistic than what they were in CoD’s predecessor. 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. ‘The Voice’ was great cooler in CoD, with soft growls and whispers overlapping over each other on top of the warped speaking to provide a richer, more majestic ‘Voice’ better capturing what it was in the book. The glow-in-the-dark blue eyes are traded in for more subdued blue eyes that are vivid without looking radioactive. Everything comes together and molds comfortably with the residence perform, which boasts soft, warm colors and lighting that create the places examine like they exist in a perpetual sunset. Indeed, the overall discover is a very dazzling one.
The proper star of the display, however, was the procure. Brian Tyler offers compositions so energetic, graceful, and beautiful to hear that he gives Arrakis the heart it sometimes lacked in the book. As with Tolkien and his Lord of the Rings, the set and the characters sometimes were a itsy-bitsy dry when it came to obliging ol’ fashioned emotion. This production would not have been what it was without its music. Brian Tyler does for CoD what James Horner did for Mammoth and what Howard Shore did for the Lord of the Rings. Towards the slay of the first installment of CoD, a montage of events play out to a song Tyler created called ‘Inama Nushif,’ and my husband heard the television and wandered from his room to advance spy what I was watching because he said the music was, in his words, “so frosty.”
What this adaptation does with its casts’ tour de force performances and Brian Tyler’s soaring glean is form Children of Dune and its characters relatable, memorable, and human, and that is why it was such a resounding success.
