First Glance: “Fountain of Youth”

Apple Studios have dropped the second trailer for their big budget streaming blockbuster “Fountain of Youth”. The film is an upcoming action adventure heist movie that has a strong resemblance to Nicolas Cage’s “National Treasure” films. It’s directed by Guy Ritchie and written by James Vanderbilt. But its most attractive feature is its cast. John Krasinski, Natalie Portman, Eiza González, Domhnall Gleeson, Carmen Ejogo, and Stanley Tucci round out a fascinating ensemble.

Kransinski and Portman play estranged siblings, Luke and Charlotte Purdue. Through a series of wild events Charlotte is convinced to join her brother on an action-packed journey to find the mythological Fountain of Youth. The movie looks to be a globe-trotting adventure to iconic locations around the world. The latest trailer gives us a better gauge of the movie’s scope as well as a good dose of the humor. Hopefully it has enough to differentiate itself from the classic adventure movies that clearly inspired it. I’ll certainly be there for it.

“Fountain of Youth” premieres May 23rd on Apple TV+. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

  1. I can’t wait to see this – love these movies & everyone in this cast. Just wish it were going to theaters though

  2. i hope the movie does well. admittedly I may be passing this because of the cast. They are talented but miscast as adventurers.

  3. I Think Eiza Gonzalez would be great choice as Carmen Sandiego In A live-action Carmen Sandiego movie
