Global Adventure is Back On the Map With Fountain of Youth Movie
From Egypt to Austria, a new film embraces the romance of adventure-quest travel. Take a sneak peek at Fountain of Youth.
The new Apple TV+ series 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 source of human immortality, the eponymous 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.
The 2025 film, directed by Guy Ritchie, was filmed in Bangkok, Vienna, Liverpool, and Cairo and uses the Great Pyramids of Giza in its key art. The cast includes Domhnall Gleeson, Eiza González, Laz Alonso, Arian Moayed, and Carmen Ejogo. Ritchie has described the movie as “in the vein of Indiana Jones but contemporary.”
Natalie Portman told Entertainment Weekly: “I’d never been to Cairo or Vienna before and was blown away by both cities — some of the most special places I’ve ever been.
“We also had a crazy chase sequence we shot in Liverpool, which was some really wild car work, and an incredible sunken ship sequence we shot on stage in London. It was always an epic day with wild stunts and scenarios to tackle. Just the most fun you can have, really.”
“It was very physically demanding, particularly for me, on this one,” Eiza González added. “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.”
The PG-rated action-adventure wrapped filming last October and is yet to set a release date but is coming soon to streaming.
