I like that we're starting to see more novels and (book) series being done as miniseries or even full-blown series rather than stand-alone movies. You can do so much more with 4 or 6 hours than you can with 2.
For instance, I'm still holding out hope for HBO doing George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire with a full season dedicated to each novel. Although I haven't heard a word on any progress since the writers' strike.
Either way, this looks like it could be okay. Seems like a pretty good cast.
