May 15, 2003 - Today Dreamworks announced the US release of Steven Spielberg's twenty hour mini-series Taken. It'll arrive on October 21st for $119 and will be a six-disc set. Special features have yet to be announced, but each episode will be presented in anamorphic widescreen with Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks.

Stay tuned for more and hit the media section below for a high-res look at the cover and discs

I might just have to buy it . . . .after i see it. Its starts soon here in Canada on the CBC and hopefully it will peak my interest

I caught all together about 2 hours of this when it was on tv and those 2 hours were spread out across many diferent sittings, so I didn't really catch much of the story and couldn't make a honest judgment as to whether I liked it or not. So to thoose who did see the whole thing do you think this set is worth the money and is it on par with Spielberg's other works?

And can someone explain to me how a 4-disc set like friends only cost at the most $40 but this 6-disc set cost $120?

i've seen all 20 hours of this and i have to say i liked it from the beginning, by episode 4 it slows down, but it picks back up again by the 6th episode, and by the end, i was pleasantly surprised at how well done this is

Didn't miss a single episode. I was glued to my television every night it was on. Then I held them in my Tivo for several months so I could watch them again. I can't wait for this release.
Most awsome!

I had them set up to record on Tivo as well, but somehow I only caught the first few hours, so I will definately be saving for Taken! From what I saw I was highly impressed with this mini-series on Sci-Fi.

I missed out this one on TV but im a big fan of Spielberg and the show looked great but $120 is just too steep. Probably a rental then.
