    • Trivia
      After the production's completion and before its premiere, the Sci-Fi Channel authorized writer/director John Harrison to write and direct a sequel miniseries. Harrison planned to base the next miniseries on Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah and Children of Dune. This eventually became the miniseries Children of Dune (2003), which Harrison wrote but did not direct.
    • Goofs
      The computer generated "'thopters" have fans on the back wings to make them fly. The actual close-up models are missing these fans.
    • Quotes

      Jessica: You see her standing there, so haughty, so confident. Let us hope she finds solace in her writing and her books. She'll have little else. She may have my son's name, but it is we, the ones who carry the name concubine, that history will call wives.

    • Alternate versions
      There exist four versions of this mini series:
      • the original version presented to the Sci-Fi channel which runs ca. 280 minutes and was deemed unsuitable by Network execs/censors. This version was used everywhere else.
      • the American TV version (ca. 265 min., see below)
      • the UK version (see below)
      • the Director's edition which adds ca. 6 minutes to the original version (ca. 286 min., see below)
    • Connections
      Featured in Frank Herbert's Dune: The Lure of Spice (2000)

    Superb. Even my non-sci-fi wife was captivated.
    The comments immediately below from Germany sum up how you will find this film. All I can add is that last night while my wife was sleeping when I put this film in the VCR, she woke up and enjoyed watching this film. This surprised me since she is not into sci-fi films. We found the acting, script, sets and costumes were excellent, and this comes from a couple in their early 50's who can be quite critical of films. See it and enjoy - just keep in mind it is not the usual thin Hollywood story but is from one of the great writers of last century.
