Apple TV+’s ‘Fountain of Youth’ stars Natalie Portman and John Krasinski ‘in the vein of Indiana Jones’

Apple TV+’s “Fountain of Youth,” a family-friendly action-adventure movie that filmmaker Guy Ritchie describes as “in the vein of Indiana Jones but contemporary,” is written by James Vanderbilt. The story follows two estranged siblings, Luke and Charlotte Purdue, played by John Krasinski and Natalie Portman, who partner on a global heist to find the mythical spring.

“They both come from a background of archeological endeavors in terms of finding archeological artifacts, so there’s a history there,” Ritchie notes. “They are estranged, but they find an alibi as to why they need to unify to find this particular treasure.”

Krasinski tells EW that his character Luke is “the definition of ‘live life to the fullest,’” adding that he is “not one to stand still.” The actor, recently dubbed PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive, adds, “His adventurous (and somewhat reckless) spirit always makes for a good time…even if it is at the expense of his sister. It was that outlook on life that made Luke a blast to play.”

While Charlotte also “came from a very adventurous childhood,” she has since “chosen a more stable life” as an adult, Portman explains. She gets “thrust back into adventure” by her brother. “It was fun playing a woman who’s finding her wildness again,” Portman adds.
