The post John Krasinski & Natalie Portman to Lead Guy Ritchie’s “Fountain of Youth” appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>Written by James Vanderbilt and set to be directed by Ritchie, Fountain of Youth centers on two estranged siblings, who must join forces and use their knowledge of history to follow clues on an epic quest for a mythological fountain of youth, that could possibly lead them to immortality.
This project has been developed from the first-look partnership between Apple and Skydance Media, and Vinson Films and Project X Entertainment are also coming on board to produce. Ritchie and Krasinski have both been circling the film since the summer, while Portman agreed to come on board after she had to shift her schedule post-strikes.
Portman most recently appeared in Todd Haynes’ May December alongside Julianne Moore and Charles Melton, and will soon star in the Apple TV+ mini-series Lady in the Lake. Krasinski wrapped up Amazon Prime Video’s action series Jack Ryan last year, and he’s gearing up for the release of his next film IF, which he also wrote and directed.

]]>According to Deadline, the yet-untitled project will center on two extraction specialists who must plan an escape path for a high-level female negotiator. The film will be laced with Ritchie’s trademark humor, and the rest of the plot details are being kept under wraps.
The leading trio worked with Ritchie on several occasions in the past. Cavill previously appeared in his remake of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and we’ll soon get to see him in the upcoming World War II action flick The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare alongside González. Gyllenhaal is also not a newcomer to Ritchie’s universe after having starred in his latest film The Convent.
Ritchie believes there’s something special about regularly collaborating with the same partners because it allows you to build trust that lets everybody do their best work.
“Jake, Henry, and Eiza are all astonishingly talented, committed, and engaging actors. This is going to be an action-packed movie that is both intellectually stimulating and physically exhilarating,” he said in a statement.

]]>Dave Callaham wrote the first draft of the script and Disney is in the process of hiring writers to develop it further. The film will be produced by AGBO, the production company run by Avengers: Endgame directing duo Joe and Anthony Russo.
Ritchie is a pretty obvious director for this project because he already has a great track record with Disney. He previously worked on the live-action remake of Aladdin starring Will Smith, Mena Massoud, and Naomi Scott, which grossed over $1 billion worldwide in 2019.
Following its release, Ritchie took a break from kid-friendly projects and returned to the action genre with The Gentlemen and Wrath of Man. His next film Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre doesn’t have a release date after being pulled from the release schedule, but he’s also been working on the untitled action thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
Hercules joins Disney’s busy slate of live-action remakes. Pinocchio and Peter Pan & Wendy will hit the theatres later this year, while The Little Mermaid is set for the 2023 release date.

]]>According to the official synopsis, this untitled film focuses on H, a cold and mysterious type whose company moves big sums of money around LA. Ritchie set out to create a thrilling and mind-bending experience with this project by shifting through various timelines and characters’ perspectives.
Miramax acquired the remake rights for 2004 film Le Convoyeur to make this movie happen, and their CEO Bill Block is putting his full trust in the creative team behind it.
“Working again with Guy Ritchie on our second collaboration together, alongside renowned actor Jason Statham, is a privilege, and we anticipate that the tone and flavor of these two longtime friends will resurrect nothing less than a true, genre classic,” said Block in a statement.
This intriguing heist thriller still doesn’t have a title or release date, and the rest of the cast is yet to be revealed.
