Three Thousand Years Of Longing

[MrRING]

This film looks terrific!

Listen to the IMDB plot description:

Dr Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is an academic - content with life and a creature of reason. While in Istanbul attending a conference, she happens to encounter a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. This presents two problems. First, she doubts that he is real and second, because she is a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. The Djinn pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.

I like this, even though I've already guessed the plotlines. Looking forward to it.

Love Tilda Swinton! And Iris Elba for that matter! I look forward to this

Brits and Aussies don't always play well together, but I'll give that a burl.

I wonder what I would do with 3 wishes ?

I wonder what I would do with 3 wishes ?

Wish for more wishes.

According to Walt Disney’s Aladdin, wishing for more wishes is against the rule book.

Also, you can not make someone to love another or bring someone back from the dead.

After thinking about 3 wishes, I would wish for health, wealth, and finally world peace.

Ever read The Monkey's Paw? A cautionary tale.

Ever read The Monkey's Paw? A cautionary tale.

Yes. Wishing for 'world peace' might end up in a situation where everybody on Earth dies. There'd be peace without people!

But imagine the shitstorm among The Dead when all those life immigrants arrive in droves. Pandemonium, I’m telling’ ya.
