FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH now streaming

Guy Ritchie’s latest action-adventure film for Apple TV+ takes viewers on an ambitious globe-trotting quest that feels familiar yet undeniably entertaining.

The film’s secret weapon proves to be Domhnall Gleeson as Owen Carver, the dying billionaire financing their adventures. Gleeson, whose recent career has showcased remarkable range across genres from STAR WARS to EX MACHINA to ABOUT TIME, brings nuanced complexity to what could have been a thankless role. His Carver is far more than the typical wealthy benefactor, revealing layers that keep audiences guessing about his true motivations. Gleeson navigates the character’s mysterious depths with the same intelligence and subtle humor that has made him one of the most compelling actors of his generation.

Ritchie demonstrates his mastery of action choreography throughout, particularly in standout sequences like the Lusitania rescue and an unexpectedly whimsical knife fight in the Austrian National Library. The director injects his signature humor into the relentless pacing, creating moments of levity that prevent the film from taking itself too seriously.

While FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH treads familiar ground in the treasure-hunting adventure genre, its commitment to practical locations and elaborate set-pieces creates genuine spectacle. The film embraces its streaming platform origins while delivering action sequences that would undoubtedly dazzle on the big screen. Its exotic locales and glossy production values mark it as the sort of entertaining escapism perfectly suited for Apple TV+’s growing roster of original content.

The story concludes with the inevitable hints at potential sequels, positioning itself as a potential franchise starter for the streaming service. Whether audiences will embrace another globe-trotting adventure series remains to be seen, but FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH certainly provides enough thrills and visual splendor to make the journey worthwhile. In an era of streaming content that often prioritizes quantity over spectacle, Ritchie has crafted something that genuinely feels cinematic in scope and ambition.

Domhnall Gleeson in ECHO VALLEY

Domhnall Gleeson in ECHO VALLEY

Domhnall Gleeson in ECHO VALLEY

Domhnall Gleeson continues his remarkable streak of commanding performances with ECHO VALLEY, proving once again why he remains one of cinema’s most compelling character actors. Fresh off his turn in Guy Ritchie’s FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH, Gleeson delivers a masterclass in controlled menace as Jackie Lawson, a drug dealer whose relentless pursuit of payment becomes the catalyst for an extraordinary family drama.

ECHO VALLEY centers on Kate Garretson, played with devastating authenticity by Julianne Moore, who struggles to maintain her horse farm while drowning in grief over her wife’s tragic death. When her estranged daughter Claire, a chronic addict portrayed with raw vulnerability by Sydney Sweeney, arrives desperate for money after yet another relapse, their fractured relationship becomes entangled with dangerous criminal elements. Kate’s ex-husband Richard, played by Kyle MacLachlan in a brief but impactful role, refuses to enable their daughter’s addiction, leaving Kate to navigate the treacherous waters alone.

This is where Gleeson’s Jackie enters the picture, transforming what could have been a straightforward addiction drama into something far more sinister and complex. Gleeson crafts Jackie as a predator who operates with chilling efficiency, demanding payment for missing drugs he claims Claire and Richard are responsible for. His portrayal is so viscerally unsettling that audiences will find themselves wanting to reach through the screen to confront him, the hallmark of truly exceptional villain work.

What elevates Gleeson’s performance beyond typical antagonist territory is his ability to make Jackie’s greed feel both calculated and desperate. He doesn’t play the character as a cartoon villain but as someone whose complete disregard for human cost makes him all the more terrifying. His scenes with Moore crackle with tension, creating some of the year’s most electrifying acting exchanges. These moments showcase why Gleeson has become such a sought-after performer, capable of holding his own against one of cinema’s most accomplished actresses.

The film benefits tremendously from Fiona Shaw’s presence as Kate’s friend, whose storyline provides crucial emotional grounding for the increasingly dangerous situations. Shaw, as always, commands attention in every scene, strengthening the film’s final act with her nuanced performance. Director Brad Ingelsby uses these character dynamics to subvert audience expectations, taking the story in directions that feel both surprising and inevitable.

Moore anchors the film with a performance that captures the dual nature of grief, mourning both those who have died and those we cannot save. Sweeney continues to prove her dramatic range by taking on challenging material that pushes beyond her comfort zone. But it’s Gleeson who provides the film’s dark heart, creating a character whose presence lingers long after the credits roll.

ECHO VALLEY succeeds by operating on multiple levels simultaneously, functioning as both an emotional exploration of family dysfunction and a taut thriller about ordinary people pushed beyond their limits. Gleeson’s recent career trajectory demonstrates his remarkable ability to elevate every project he touches, whether in ensemble pieces or smaller character-driven dramas like this one.

The film opens in theaters on June 6 and streams on Apple TV+ beginning June 13, offering audiences the chance to witness Gleeson’s latest tour de force performance in what promises to be one of the year’s most gripping dramas.

Domhnall Gleeson in THE PAPER

Domhnall Gleeson in THE PAPER

Domhnall Gleeson in THE PAPER

Domhnall Gleeson’s impressive career trajectory continues its upward climb as the Irish actor steps into the beloved universe of THE OFFICE this fall. After captivating audiences in blockbuster franchises like STAR WARS and HARRY POTTER, Gleeson is now bringing his considerable talents to Peacock’s highly-anticipated series THE PAPER where he’ll portray an optimistic publisher fighting to save a dying Midwestern newspaper.

The announcement comes after years of speculation about a potential spinoff from THE OFFICE with NBC finally confirming that the same fictional documentary crew that once chronicled the everyday chaos of Dunder Mifflin will now turn their cameras on The Truth Teller, a struggling newspaper in Toledo, Ohio. Gleeson, whose recent work has showcased his remarkable range across genres, from sci-fi epics to intimate dramas, seems perfectly cast as the determined publisher with “unwavering optimistic belief” that he can restore The Truth Teller to its former glory.

At a recent NBCUniversal upfront presentation, Gleeson himself described the series as featuring “a wonderful ensemble cast of underdog characters that are banding together to keep journalism alive.” He’ll be joined by Sabrina Impacciatore of THE WHITE LOTUS fame and, in a delightful callback to the original series, Oscar Nuñez reprising his role as accountant Oscar Martinez. Though Gleeson has consistently demonstrated his dramatic prowess in films like EX MACHINA and THE REVENANT, THE PAPER will give viewers a chance to see his comedic abilities in full force, working under the guidance of THE OFFICE creator Greg Daniels and NATHAN FOR YOU creator Michael Koman.

This partnership promises to maintain the mockumentary style and awkward humor that made the original series a cultural phenomenon while exploring entirely new territory. For Gleeson, whose career has been marked by thoughtful role selection and memorable performances across independent and major studio productions alike, THE PAPER represents an exciting venture into episodic comedy. As NBCUniversal Entertainment President Lisa Katz noted, the newspaper setting is “ripe for comedic storytelling” – and with Gleeson at the helm as the idealistic publisher, viewers can expect a fresh yet familiar take on workplace dynamics when the series premieres on Peacock in September 2025. The role seems tailor-made for Gleeson, who has consistently brought depth and humanity to his characters, suggesting his publisher might become as endearing and complex as the beloved personalities from the original Scranton branch.

Domhnall Gleeson in BUCKING FASTARD

Domhnall Gleeson in BUCKING FASTARD

Domhnall Gleeson in BUCKING FASTARD

Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson continues his impressive career trajectory with his latest role in Werner Herzog’s highly anticipated film BUCKING FASTARD, which recently wrapped production in Dublin, Sligo, and Slovenia. The film is expected to make its debut at the Cannes Film Festival this month, where it will be shown to potential buyers in what promises to be one of the festival’s most talked-about screenings.

Gleeson, who has steadily built a reputation for taking on challenging and diverse roles since his breakthrough in ABOUT TIME, joins an impressive ensemble that includes real-life siblings Kate and Rooney Mara as the film’s central characters. In recent years, Gleeson has demonstrated remarkable versatility, moving effortlessly between indie darlings and major franchises, making his casting in Herzog’s return to narrative filmmaking particularly noteworthy.

In BUCKING FASTARD, Gleeson portrays Timothy, a government-issued social worker tasked with helping the eccentric Holbrooke twins adapt to modern life after they become unexpected tabloid sensations. The Mara sisters play Jean and Joan Holbrooke, inseparable twins who live on the fringes of society and share an extraordinary bond – speaking in unison, loving the same man, sharing identical dreams, and even making the same linguistic slips simultaneously. Their quest to find “the Orkneys,” an imaginary land where true love exists, leads them to attempt the impossible: digging a tunnel through an entire mountain range. This marks the first on-screen collaboration between Kate and Rooney Mara, with the latter having previously filmed in Ireland for Jim Sheridan’s THE SECRET SCRIPTURE.

The legendary Werner Herzog, whose last narrative feature was released in 2022 with his documentary THEATER OF THOUGHT, describes BUCKING FASTARD as completing “an operatic triptych” with his previous acclaimed works FITZCARRALDO and GRIZZLY MAN. “We cannot see the world as Jean and Joan Holbrooke see it,” Herzog explained, “but we do see how the world reacts to them – through the courts and the press, through those that want to help and those who want to use them, through the eyes of beasts both tame and wild, and even through their own echoes in the core of the earth.”

Domhnall Gleeson in FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

Domhnall Gleeson in FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

Domhnall Gleeson in FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

In what is shaping up to be one of spring’s most anticipated streaming releases, Guy Ritchie’s new adventure epic FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH has revealed its first full trailer, showcasing an intriguing partnership between John Krasinski and Natalie Portman as estranged siblings embarking on a global quest for immortality.

The trailer introduces us to Krasinski’s character Luke, who reluctantly reaches out to his sister Charlotte (Portman) for help in locating the mythological Fountain of Youth. Their strained relationship is immediately evident when she answers his call with suspicion: “Are you in trouble? You only call when you’re in trouble.” This family tension provides the emotional backbone for what appears to be a globe-trotting adventure spanning “five continents, dozens of cultures, over thousands of years,” as Luke explains in the footage.

Among the stellar supporting cast, Domhnall Gleeson‘s inclusion is particularly noteworthy, marking another compelling role in what has become an impressive recent career trajectory. Following his standout performances in  EX MACHINA, Gleeson has carved out a niche playing complex characters in thought-provoking films. His involvement in FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH continues this pattern of choosing projects that balance commercial appeal with artistic substance.

The film, written by James Vanderbilt, also features Eiza González, Arian Moayed, Laz Alonso, Carmen Ejogo, and Stanley Tucci—an ensemble that promises to enhance Ritchie’s signature blend of fast-paced storytelling, sharp dialogue, and kinetic action sequences. Given Ritchie’s track record with films like THE GENTLEMEN and the SHERLOCK HOLMES franchise, audiences can expect his characteristic stylish direction applied to the treasure-hunt genre.

At its core, FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH appears to blend high-stakes adventure with deeper themes of family reconciliation, as the siblings must leverage their historical knowledge to decipher ancient clues that might lead them to immortality—while potentially healing their fractured relationship in the process. The film arrives exclusively on Apple TV+ on May 23, continuing the streaming service’s investment in star-powered original content designed to compete with traditional theatrical releases.
