A Nickelodeon TV series that you probably never heard of is getting made into a movie. Genie in the House: The Movie just got its financing at the San Sebastian Film Festival. "Genie in the House" ran from 2006-09 on Nickelodeon U.K. and is about a widowed dad and his two teen daughters who find a lamp inside the house they just moved into. The lamp contains a genie in training. The dad says "no magic" but, well you've seen "Wizards of Waverly Place" or maybe "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie," of course magic happens with mishaps in every episode. The movie is being funded by German, French and Spanish companies. It's a similar deal to House of Anubis, also a series that started on Nick UK, and is getting made into a movie by international interests.
