Guy Ritchie never had trouble casting A-list stars as leads in his movies, and his next project will be no exception. John Krasinski and Natalie Portman are set to lead Fountain of Youth, Guy Ritchie’s next film about two estranged siblings on a quest to find the key to eternal life.

Fountain of Youth was written by James Vanderbilt (Zodiac), and it centers on two siblings embarking on a global heist to find the mythological fountain of youth. Despite being estranged for years, they must work together and use their knowledge of history to follow clues on an epic adventure that might lead them to immortality.

Fountain of Youth is the latest project developed as a part of Apple’s first-look partnership with Skydance Media, and Ritchie and Krasinski have both been eying it for months. Portman agreed to commit to this project in the wake of Hollywood strikes, which have significantly impacted her schedule.

Fountain of Youth will mark Portman’s first feature film since Todd Haynes’ acclaimed drama May December, also starring Julianne Moore and Charles Melton. As for Krasinski, he recently wrapped up Amazon’s action series Jack Ryan and is getting ready for the release of IF, the fantasy film that he wrote and directed.

After making a name for himself as a horror director, John Krasinski is making a shift to a completely different genre with his next project IF. This fantasy film is set in a world where imaginary friends have a life of their own, and Krasinski just shared the first trailer with the world.

Written and directed by Krasinski, IF will follow Bea (Cailey Fleminga), a young girl who has a special power to see other people’s imaginary friends, even after they’ve been long abandoned. She learns she’s not the only person with this ability after meeting her neighbor the Man Upstairs (Ryan Reynolds).

Krasinski told Entertainment Weekly that he wrote this movie for his kids and they’re the only critics he cares about right now.

“I will say, the most emotional thing that I’ve ever had happen in my career is watching my kids watch this trailer. I’ve never been more scared to show anyone a movie than these two little people. The one criticism I’m looking for my whole life is: What do they think?” said Krasinski.

IF will hit the theatres on May 17, 2024, and it will also star Fiona Shaw, Alan Kim, Liza Colón-Zayas, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Louis Gossett Jr., and Steve Carell.

John Krasinski recently won over both the critics and the audience with 2018’s horror A Quiet Place; a movie which he directed, wrote and also starred in. And, while we thought Krasinksi’s involvement in the project ended there, it turns out that he had two on-screen roles in this film.

Krasinski recently made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and shared some unknown details about the film, including the fact that he played both the lead character Lee Abbott and the monsters his character was trying to escape from.

“Nobody knows it because I’ve kept it quiet,” said the 38-year-old actor turned director.

While the movie was in production, Krasinski was working closely with the visual effects team in order to get the look and the movements of the monsters right. At one point, he decided to demonstrate the way these monsters would behave.

“The amazing people at [Industrial Light and Magic] asked, ‘So how does the creature move?’ and I said, ‘Well, this is how I think he’s gonna crawl,'” Krasinski shared. “And they said, ‘Well, why don’t you throw on the suit?’ And I was like, ‘Totally!'”

Besides revealing his secret cameo, Krasinski also talked about the challenges of directing his wife, Emily Blunt, who played one of the lead roles in the movie with him.

You can watch the entire segment in the video below.

Since its release, A Quiet Place went on to become a huge box office hit, earning $334.5 million compared to $17 million budget while critics described it as “smart, wickedly frightening good time.” Encouraged by this success, Paramount studio began working on a sequel which is scheduled for release on May 15, 2020.
