So, instead he'll wake up and discover �Thorn Birds I� was all a dream.
Was this supposed to be a movie (you know, Hollywood) or a TV-movie
(you know, Ted Turner's basement :-) ? I dunno if TV-movies are best
discussed in this file or a TV programming file.

p.s., lesson du jour: it's "sequel", not "sequal". When in doubt, "e".

| I also heard about this but the movie will take place before
Richard's Chamerlain's character dies - I think it is when
Meggy's children are growing up. Apparently Luke also comes
back into their lives. Don't know if any of the original actors
will reprise their roles or not - the article didn't say.

| That's what I've heard too -- that the second movie/mini-series would cover
the time between Meggie's return to Drogheda (with toddler Justine
and pregnant with Dane) and Ralph's return when the kids are 18 or so.
I've heard that Richard Chamberlain was asked to do the sequel but turned
it down.

| Yes, apparently he likes his life in Hawaii, and only leaves
the islands for very special "projects".

ps I think he also made a comment about being too old to play Father
Ralph.

Some TV movies have been discussed here (notably, made-for-cable ones).
Discussions of TV mini-series, though, belong in a TV-related conference.

| 890.6 | wish they'd just leave it alone | RDVAX::HABER | supercalifragilisticexpialidocious | Wed Jul 26 1995 14:00 | 9 |
| I don't know, watching the period of time between the pregnancy with
Dane and Father Ralph's death seems to be a bit anti-climactic, doesn't
it? i mean, we all know how the original ends.
Wish they'd just leave it as is, it was a marvelous book and a good
movie.

| I just watched this again yesterday. Got it when it first became avail
to buy....seems now that a sequel Would be anti-climactic but also
the original characters were so good I don't think I'd like
substitutes.....
