Sci Fi Gives Green Light To "Children of Dune"

fooguy writes "Our friends at the Sci Fi Channel have given the Green Light to begin production of Children of Dune. According to the release, 'The miniseries begins production in Prague in April 2002 and is slated to air in 2003. Dune adapter John Harrison wrote the script, based on "Dune Messiah" and "Children of Dune," the second and third novels in Frank Herbert's six-volume Dune Chronicles series. Richard P. Rubinstein comes back on board as executive producer. The sequel will continue the story of the Atreides family and recount the fall of Paul's empire, with the future resting in the hands of Paul's heirs, his twin children."

    A typical geek just like you and I is being investigated by the Secret Service, for a comment he made on a discussion forum, the US is entering one of its most repressive eras in history... and you people have the gall to be discussing a fucking TV miniseries?

    The thousands of political prisoners that are sure to be taken in the next few years really don't give a damn about any of the ways you are "getting on with your lives".

    Pathetic.

  5. Weirding Modules by Patrick+McRotch · · Score: 0, Troll

    I was alarmed by some of the omissions in the previous Sci-Fi Channel mini-series. Among other things, they made no mention of weirding modules, which I thought were integral to the story. I hope this series be more faithful to the book it's based on.

    There ARE NO ****ING WIERDING MODULES IN THE BOOK!!!!!

    You are correct, but only inadvertently. Because you spelled Weirding incorrectly, you have caused your statement to be correct. There were, in fact, Weirding modules in the book.

    I'm not sure which is worse, your ALL CAPS shouting, the profanity, the misspelling, or the factual inaccuracy. Either way, it's all good, there's no reason to be fighting over details.

    Dune is a great book and a delightful "Universe", no matter what kind of module is used. (-:

    Our friends at the Sci Fi Channel have given the Green Light to begin production of Children of Dune.

    I've got to protect my good name, so I replaced the erroneous link for "Green Light" that was given in the story. My copy (above) gives the real scoop!

    No, there were not wierding modules in the book.

    You are correct only because you have misspelled "Weirding".

    There were Weirding, not Wierding, modules in the book.

    You are correct. There are only Weirding Modules in the book, not Wierding Modules. Your spelling error has rendered you correct.
