STILL DREAMIN' OF JEANNIE
Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba, who is back in theaters this weekend in
Into the Blue, confirms that there are ongoing talks about her headlining a big-screen take on the TV classic
I Dream of Jeannie. "I definitely have met a couple of times at Sony and we've talked about it, [but] the script is just not in the shape I would want it to be in if I was going to do it," the actress said this week at a press event. "I want to do
the show; I want the
charm of
the show." As for who might play Major Nelson, Alba is mum but notes, "It needs to be a strong leading man who is funny and all the things you love about
Larry Hagman." I believe
Chris O'Donnell is free.
