Fountain of Youth - Guy Richie Apple TV+ movie Staring John Krasinski, Natalie Portman

it feels like "someone wants to do an Indiana Jones and Lara Croft team up but don't want to pay for the rights" sorta vibe. but in all seriousness, it looks kinda interesting. I'm down for it.

I like the idea but man the annoying "quippy dialog" feels so bad here, zero charm unlike some of Ritchie's other stuff.
 
They should stop giving big blockbuster projects to Guy Richie and tell him to fuck off back to England and make more movies like Lock Stock, Snatch and The Gentlemen.

Anyway, 11 year old kids are gonna love this movie, and it seems aimed at that kind of audience.
 
Man I don't care that it's aping Indy, if it's a good adventure film I'm down. Halpert makes a surprisingly good Indy, too. I just hope it's not too Guardians-quippy, though.

I'll give this a watch for sure.

I thought The Covenant was pretty great but yeah he's had some stinkers lately.

Definitely think any sort of big budget seems like a huge risk to the studio though. Love to see more stuff like Wrath of Man.

Him toned down a bit like in The Gentleman is preferred over trying to recreate his Lock Stock / Snatch vibes too. You listed them all together but his old stuff which I was a big fan of back in the day is pretty over the top obnoxious.
 
I wish Richie would just stick to making Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels/Snatch-like British gangster movies. I can't get enough of that shit. It's like, dude, that's what you do best and I love it.
 
When is Vinnie Jones gonna show up?

Anyway, that feels as smoothed over and "by committee" a trailer as humanly possible. Zero rough edges, sanded smooth, no personality possible. Eiza Gonzales is perfect for this, she has zero facial movement. John Krasinzski and Zachary Levi need to do a movie together, they are damn near indistinguishable when separate.

This and he needs to get Fairbrass to start appearing in his stuff
