‘Wicked 2,’ Guy Ritchie’s ‘Fountain of Youth,’ Neil Burger’s ‘Inheritance’ Score Big With Egyptian Locations


Egyptian locations will soon take the spotlight in three wildly different titles: 'Wicked Part Two,' 'Fountain of Youth' and 'Inheritance.'

While blockbusters “ Wicked Part Two” and “ Fountain of Youth,” from director Guy Ritchie, both make use of the country’s historical riches and otherworldly expanses, filmmaker Neil Burger will channel the breakneck pace of modern Cairo with his gritty espionage thriller “ Inheritance ” — set for release on Jan. 24. In late 2023, the commission welcomed the cast and crew of “Wicked Part Two,” helping the Universal blockbuster recreate the Land of Oz over the course of a 10-day shoot in Egypt’s surreal White Desert National Park. For “Inheritance,” director Neil Burger needed something a bit more rough around edges, befitting a paranoid thriller about a young woman gradually losing her tether over the course of a globetrotting tour.
