- TriviaIn the novel, Leto and Ghanima are 9. For the miniseries, they appear to be nearly twice that age, so they could be played by adults.
- GoofsIt is made clear in the original miniseries (as it is in the novels) that Princess Irulan (played by Julie Cox) is Emperor Shadam's eldest daughter. However, her sister Princess Wensicia (portrayed here by Susan Sarandon) is clearly much older than she is. Susan Sarandon is actually 26 years older than Julie Cox.

Featured review
This four hour miniseries actually covers two books, the shorter sequil to <i>Dune</i>, <i>Dune Messiah</i>, and the next (longer) <i>Children of Dune</i>. I was stunned by how well it was able to capture such complex concepts as were introduced in the books in the visual medium. There were very few times I felt the film hadn't stayed true to the book, most of which were minor. I think anyone who hadn't read the books or at least seen the previous movie would be a little lost, so I recomend this as complimentary to the books; but as such it was a wonderful treat. Actors, make-up, set design were all perfect. I think I liked David Lynch's stillsuits better, these ones don't look like they'd do the job very well, but I suppose it was a trade off with seeing some of the wonderfully figured women =)
The part that would be the end of <i>Dune Messiah</i> had me nearly in tears. Wonderful job. For anyone who's read the books, a must see.
