Apple Original Films just shared the official trailer for Fountain of Youth , starring John Krasinski, Natalie Portman, Eiza González, Domhnall Gleeson, Arian Moayed, Laz Alonso, Carmen Ejogo, and Stanley Tucci. The upcoming action-adventure is directed by Guy Ritchie and written by James Vanderbilt. In an interview with EW , Krasinski described his character Luke as "the definition of 'live life to the fullest,'" and someone who is "not one to stand still.
" He then added, "His adventurous [and somewhat reckless] spirit always makes for a good time...
even if it is at the expense of his sister. It was that outlook on life that made Luke a blast to play." As for Portman's Charlotte, she has "chosen a more stable life.
" However, she is now "thrust back into adventure" thanks to her brother. "It was fun playing a woman who's finding her wildness again," the actress expressed . "Ironically, you end up being in the movie yourself, if you know what I mean," Ritchie explained , referring to how the movie was shot in locations such as Egypt, Bangkok, and Vienna.
"You go on an action-adventure yourself while you're constructing these things. So the making of films is as much fun as you think it's going to be." Fountain of Youth follows two estranged siblings (John Krasinski and Academy Award winner Natalie Portman) who partner on a global heist 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. "It was very physically demanding, particularly for me, on this one," González, who plays Esme, shared . "It's sometimes the simplest things in action scenes that people never think are the hardest to achieve.
.. From Egypt to Thailand to Vienna, every location demanded more and different things to adapt to.
It was a huge learning experience for me, and I'm very happy with the result." Fountain of Youth will begin streaming May 23 on Apple TV+. Sophia Soto is a writer and interviewer with a passion for all things entertainment.
