The Dark Angel's career has taken off in the past 10 months with "Sin City," "Fantastic
Four" and soon-to-be released "Into the Blue," and word is out this week that Jessica Alba has signed on to do a remake of the TV show, "I Love Jeannie" with Jimmy Fallon playing the astronaut role.
The original series starred Barbara Eden as a genie, alongside an astronaut played by Larry Hagman. Ananova is reporting that Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Simpson and Kate Hudson were all considered for the role before producers decided on Alba.
While this film sounds like it has the potential to suck, Movieline.net is reporting that "Bend it Like Beckham" director Gurinder Chadha is interested in taking charge of the project. If you loved what Gurinder did with "Beckham" and enjoy her incredible flair for comedy, then the idea of Alba + Fallon + Chadha could be a winning combination.
, UPDATE: August 28, 2005: At the Video Music Awards Jessica says she's not involved in the movie remake of "I Dream of Jeannie."
"I just signed on to an independent called 'The Wake' for Miramax, actually, with Sigourney Weaver and Hayden Christensen. So I'm going to do a little artsy movie next."
