Here's our pitch for the 'I Dream of Jeannie' reboot:
Homeland Security Investigator, Major Anthony Nelson stumbles upon an ancient bottle that to his surprise is home to a 2000 year old genie. Bound to him by love and honor, she begins to turn his world upside down by granting his every wish. Falling in love with her himself, he shuns her advances in fear that the US government will learn of her existence and turn her into a super-weapon.

SYNOPSIS: On assignment in the middle east, Homeland Security Special Agent Major Anthony Nelson must oversee a truce between two waring, desert tribes in order to insure safe trade routes for international merchants.
The truce is contingent upon the transfer of ownership of certain ancient relics from one tribe to the other.
One of the relics is a centuries old, ornate glass bottle.
At the rendezvous point in the desert, both tribes arrive via helicopters and black SUV's with armed guards. Major Nelson also arrives with CIA operatives as bodyguards.
As the relics are exchanged, special interest is given to the glass bottle.
"I bequeath ownership of this bottle and its content to another. You are now the bottles rightful and only master!" says the benign aged tribal leader to his much younger and ruthless rival.
Smiling, the younger leader opens the bottle and puts it down in the sand.
Suddenly, a stream of thick blue smoke begins to emanate from the bottle.
With all eyes on the bottle, the aged tribal leader is escorted by his guards to his SUV.
"You will want to get down," he whispers to Major Nelson as he passes by him.
