Cast, Director, And More Details

«Fountain of Youth» is written by James Vanderbilt, a screenwriter with decades of Hollywood experience under his belt. Vanderbilt has had his share of blockbuster duds — most notably the «Amazing Spider-Man» films, though those movies have gained some positive reputation in more recent years — but he’s also delivered a number of certified hits. Most significantly, he penned the script for «Zodiac,» the 2007 David Fincher true crime film viewed widely as one of the acclaimed director’s best works. More recently, Vanderbilt wrote and produced the 2022 «Scream» reboot, which remains well-regarded, and its 2023 sequel, «Scream VI.» A source told Deadline in January that Vanderbilt’s script for «Fountain of Youth» apparently «blew execs away» when the film was being shopped around.

The film will be produced by Guy Ritchie, as well as David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Tripp Vinson, William Sherak, Paul Neinstein, Ivan Atkinson, and Jake Myers. Ellison, Goldberg, and Granger will be producing from the Skydance side, while Sherak and Neinstein come to the film from Project X. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Chad Villella, and Tyler Gillett will executive-produce through Radio Silence.
