All about Arian Moayed’s upcoming film, Fountain Of Youth
Directed by Guy Ritchie, the film is penned by James Vanderbilt, whose previous screenwriting credits include acclaimed projects like Zodiac and White House Down. The film is being made under the production banner of Skydance, and it’s indeed a high priority for both Ritchie and Skydance. The project has already been delayed and affected by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes last year, as well as due to the director’s packed schedule.
The year has almost completed a quarter, and Ritchie is already doing an incredible job. This isn’t his first project of the year, as he recently delivered his new series The Gentlemen on Netflix and fans will soon get to see The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare arrive in theaters.
Talking about Moayed, as aforementioned, his role in Ritchie’s upcoming film has been kept under wraps. However, considering his previous roles, it can be said that Ritchie has a perfect eye to identify talent. After being nominated twice for Emmy Awards for his recurring role as Stewy Hosseini in Succession, Moayed has seen a meteoric rise in his acting career. He was most recently seen on the big screen with A24’s You Hurt My Feelings, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tobias Menzies. He’s also appeared in Inventing Anna, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Ms. Marvel, among other projects.
Meanwhile, Moayed Costar, in The Fountain of Youth, Carmen Ejogo, also has an impressive resume. She last appeared in the Apple TV+ original series The Crowded Room. Her other notable acting credits include Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Purge: Anarchy, and It Comes at Night.
With a star-studded cast set to show their acting chops, The Fountain of Youth is yet to get to a release date.
