Following years spent in development hell, it looks like TV classic I Dream of Jeannie is set to hit the big screen.
Producer Sid Ganis has hired Rita Hsiao to re-write the current script, and is extremely optimistic about the outcome. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about her idea. Ganis said: "She has a terrific, bright, fresh approach to Jeannie's story, with a twist and turn along the way."
Hsiao is making a habit of polishing scripts, having re-written the likes of 13 Going on 30 and Enchanted. Her plan is to contemporize the story, bringing the tale of an astronaut's friendship with a beautiful genie up to present day.

Once the script is finished, Ganis will set about searching for a director as well as an actress to play the iconic central character. Our pick would be Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell. What do you guys think?
