A High-Stakes Adventure Across the Globe

The duo must decipher centuries-old riddles and navigate deadly traps, all while being pursued by ruthless enemies who will stop at nothing to claim immortality for themselves. Their quest will take them to stunning locations, including Egypt, London, and Thailand, where every step brings them closer to a discovery that could change the course of history.

Guy Ritchie’s Signature Style Meets Classic Adventure
Director Guy Ritchie, known for his stylish, high-energy filmmaking (Sherlock Holmes, The Gentlemen), describes “Fountain of Youth” as a modern take on the classic adventure genre.
“I wanted to make something that felt like an old-school treasure-hunting movie but with a contemporary edge. Think Indiana Jones meets Ocean’s Eleven,” Ritchie shared in a recent interview.
With intricate heists, explosive action sequences, and witty banter, the film promises to honor the spirit of classic adventure films while delivering something fresh and unexpected.
Filming in Stunning Global Locations
The production took the cast and crew to some of the most breathtaking locations in the world, adding to the film’s epic scale.
Portman recalled the exhilarating experience of filming in Cairo.
“We were running through these ancient streets, filming these crazy chase sequences. It felt like we were actually on the adventure ourselves,” she told Entertainment Weekly.
Meanwhile, Krasinski described filming in Thailand’s lush jungles as both physically demanding and awe-inspiring.
“There were moments where it didn’t feel like a movie. It felt like we were actually explorers hunting down this incredible lost treasure.”
