Based on the TV series of the same name, the more "girl power" feature version will chronicles the adventures of Jeannie, a woman in ancient Persia whose desire to become a soldier lead her to being imprisioned in bottle and to become the slave of the first person who lets her out. Keira Knightley (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN), who worked with director Chadha on BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM, is rumored to be the top choice to star as Jeannie.
