In the meantime, the djinn tells her the story of his immortal life and the many times he's found himself literally imprisoned by love. She's a scholar of stories about wishes and wish granting, so she's going to need some time to think this through. He promises to grant her three wishes but not so fast. In the new George Miller film 'Three Thousand Years Of Longing,' Tilda Swinton plays an academic who buys a glass bottle that she soon discovers contains an ancient djinn, played by Idris Elba.
