Apple TV+ movie ‘Fountain of Youth,’ starring Natalie Portman and John Krasinski inspired by ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘National Treasure’ franchises
Eiza González, John Krasinski and Natalie Portman star in Apple Original Films’ “Fountain of Youth,” from director Guy Ritchie.
Directed by Guy Ritchie and written by James Vanderbilt, “Fountain of Youth” follows two estranged siblings (John Krasinski and Academy Award winner Natalie Portman) who partner on a global quest to find the mythological Fountain of Youth. They must use their knowledge of history to follow clues on an epic adventure that will change their lives … and possibly lead to immortality.
Also starring Eiza González, Domhnall Gleeson, Arian Moayed, Laz Alonso, Carmen Ejogo and Stanley Tucci, “Fountain of Youth” is produced by Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger.
Director Guy Ritchie’s new action-adventure “Fountain of Youth” did not lead its stars Natalie Portman, opens new tab and John Krasinski to the source of immortality, but it did take them back to the movies they grew up watching.
Making the movie was a “big nostalgia hit”, said Krasinski.
“This is one of those big adventure movies that made you want to be in the movies,” the 45-year-old actor and filmmaker said. “This is what I used to pretend to do. So to be in a movie that I used to pretend to be in with my brothers is totally surreal.”
The film draws inspiration from family favourites such as the “Indiana Jones” and “National Treasure” franchises, Portman said.
“This one has an amazing sibling rivalry at the centre, which is kind of a marked difference from “Indiana Jones”. But yes, of course all the adventure and the incredible locations and all of that imagination is definitely there,” the 43-year-old Oscar winner said.
