OFFICIAL SCIFI CHANNEL PRESS RELEASE
DARK KINGDOM is based off of Richard Wagner’s masterwork: “Der Ring des Nibelungen,” the four-part Ring cycle thought to be the most monumental work of art to be created by one mind. It all started with his idea for a dramatic poem to be set in music which he entitled “Siegfried’s Death”, and was inspired by the story of a hero’s death as told in the “Nibelungenlied” – the tales of Germanic mythology. The opera follows the fortunes of gods, giants, gnomes and humans as they battle greed and betrayal to reach a final redemption.
DARK KINGDOM is a “coming of age” story about star-crossed lovers Prince Siegfried and Brunhild. The message of greed as the root of all evil is clear. The ring of Nibelungs is a symbol of man’s never ending longing for power and wealth. However, it is still love that is worth craving for, if everything else fails, love will still endure even in death.
The DARK KINGDOM Miniseries Premiere on The SciFi Channel Monday, March 27, 2006 at 9PM/ET. The DVD will be available on March 28, 2006.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
i seen the first part of the movie and i thought that it was a little boring but when it got to the end i understood it more. i can only wait for the second part to come on tonight and when it does i am ready to watch it. i seen that eric married that nasty red hair girl and she did it because she was jealous of him being with the queen of iceland. i hope that it turns that he gets with queen of iceland. she seems very cool.
I liked the show it was kinda different but very good, it didn’t end out the way i thought and that made it very intersting it only has come on these 2 days i hope to see it on more
this movie was very good. it had a tragic ending that reminded me of shakespears romeo and juliet, because u will rememeber it.
