Guy Ritchie and several members of the cast of his upcoming movie Fountain of Youth spoke to Entertainment Weekly as the outlet launched the first-look images from the movie. Along with Krasinski and Portman, the Apple TV+ feature stars Domhnall Gleeson, Eiza González, Stanley Tucci, Laz Alonso, Arian Moayed, and others. James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, The Amazing Spider-Man) penned the script. Fountain of Youth premieres on the streaming platform sometime in 2025.
According to the logline of the movie, estranged siblings Luke (Krasinski) and Charlotte (Portman) join forces to find the mythical Fountain of Youth. The pair “must use their knowledge of history to follow clues on an epic adventure that will change their lives — and possibly lead to immortality.”
“I found myself feeling like if I wasn’t too careful, I was ending up in a comedy-action-gangster genre, of which, of course, I’m comfortable and enjoy, but at some point, I thought, you have to spread your wings as a writer-director,” Ritchie told the above-mentioned outlet.
The Wrath of Man filmmaker also said that the movie was “in the vein of Indiana Jones but contemporary” and underscored the dynamic between the two main characters. “They are estranged, but they find an alibi as to why they need to unify to find this particular treasure,” he explained.
Reflecting on his character, Krasinski said that Luke personified “the definition of ‘live life to the fullest'” and was “not one to stand still.” In contrast, according to Portman, Charlotte decided on a “more stable life.”
Notably, filming for Fountain of Youth took place on location in Vienna, Austria; Egypt; and Bangkok, Thailand.
