The Next Dune Miniseries

[Mahdi]

A couple weeks ago it was reported that John Harrison was writing the sequel to his Dune miniseries and all the main characters were contracted to appear in it. However, at that time they had not decided on whether it would follow just Dune Messiah or both it and Children of Dune with a new name. According to Amsterdam productions the decision has been made and the next miniseries will be Dune Messiah, how they are going to make that 6 hours long I don't know. I'd have thought it could be made into a four hour miniseries, but six seems fairly long for a book that size. Also, it didn't say when this will be made. For those of you familiar with the novels Dune Messiah takes place 12(?) years after the original novel and Children another 9 years after that. If you had trouble picturing Alec Newman as a small 15 year old, it will be even more difficult to see him as a middle aged man.
