Apple Original Films has set "Fountain of Youth," a new feature film based on an original idea that will star John Krasinski and Academy Award-winner Natalie Portman, and will be directed by Guy Ritchie. Skydance Media will serve as the studio, and the film will be produced for Apple by Skydance, Vinson Films and Project X Entertainment, the companies announced on Thursday.

Written by James Vanderbilt ("Zodiac," "Scream V" and "Scream VI"), "Fountain of Youth" centers on two estranged siblings who partner on a global heist to find the mythological Fountain of Youth. They must use their knowledge of history to follow clues on an epic adventure that will change their lives…and possibly lead to immortality.

Hailing from a first-look partnership between Apple and Skydance Media, "Fountain of Youth" will be produced by Skydance's David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger. Tripp Vinson is also producing via his Vinson Films banner alongside Vanderbilt, William Sherak, Paul Neinstein via their Project X Entertainment banner, Guy Ritchie and Ivan Atkinson and Jake Myers are also producing with Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett and Chad Villella) serving as executive producers.

Deadline first reported the news.
