A miniseries also runs the risk of cancellation if it's not popular, especially a miniseries like DT that would actually end up running the length of a regular TV series (20+ episodes).
It could definitely be done in a trilogy, with 3 to 3.5 hour running times for each movie.

This is old, old, old news. As in 2 years old or more. Nothing has ever materialized from this, nor do I think it ever will.
