I found this article in the TV Times:
'Dreams can come true. Lisa Kudrow's lifelong wish to play Jeannie in the film remake of the sixties show 'I dream of Jeannie' looks set to be fulfilled. The original show starred Larry Hagman as the astronaut who uncorked the lamp and found Jeannie, played by Barbara Eden, who gave the Friends star a glowing report. "I believe they have talked about doing a movie. I wouldn't play Jeannie, I would play and aunt or something. As for Lisa, she is adorable, she really is. I'm impressed with the way she acts. She would be perfect."
I think she would be great too. She's just the right sort of actress to play her.
