The Forty-Year-Old Version Trailer & Key Art Starring Radha Blank

RELATED: Making The Witcher Trailer: Go Behind-the-Scenes of the Hit Netflix Series

Radha, a down-on-her-luck NY playwright, is desperate for a breakthrough before 40. But when she foils what seems like her last shot at success, she’s left with no choice but to reinvent herself as rapper RadhaMUSPrime. The Forty-Year-Old Version follows Radha as she vacillates between the worlds of Hip Hop and theater on a quest to find her true voice.

Winner of the Directing Prize at The 2020 Sundance Film Festival, The Forty-Year-Old Version is a hilariously candid and deeply personal debut from writer/director Blank. A fresh addition to the New York City slice-of-life canon shot in lush black and white 35mm, Blank’s film is an ode to the unfulfilled, and those whose adversity gives them a one-of-a-kind story to tell.

The movie also stars Peter Kim, Oswin Benjamin, Imani Lewis, Haskiri Velazquez, Antonio Ortiz, TJ Atoms, Jacob Ming Trent, Stacey Sargeant, William Oliver Watkins, Meghan O’Neill, Andre Ward, Welker White, and Reed Birney.

Top 10 Best Threequels: Return of the King, The Last Crusade & More

Ah, the threequel. The third and typically last film in a series. Over the years we’ve seen a number of finales drop the ball on their last go — Spider-Man 3, Superman 3, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and even The Godfather Part III, for example — as director’s seem to run out of ideas or run into studio interference that hampers their overarching vision. And yet, there are actually quite a few good, even great Part 3s out there.

Ahead of the release of another highly-anticipated threequel Bill & Ted Face the Music (pre-order here), the boys at Podcast 426 (namely Josh Ames and Bryce Carlile) and I debated over the Top 10 Best Threequels — which you can listen to here — and came up with this list. Full disclosure, none of us have seen Before Midnight, which is why it’s not on here; and most of our choices were based more on what we call the rewatchable factor rather than artistic integrity. Is it a perfect list? Nah. But we all agreed that, if presented with these films, this is the order we would watch them in. Except for Bryce, who had Back to the Future Part III as his No. 1, which neither Josh or I could get behind. Also, we fully expect Zack Snyder’s Justice League to end up on here next year, which could drastically shake up the proceedings.

After looking through the list, feel free to tear apart our suggestions in the comments and tells us which threequels you believe deserve place amongst the greats!

1. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

There are epics and then there are epics. Peter Jackson did the impossible and not only stuck the landing with the big finale to his adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings but ended up making one of the greatest spectacles to ever grace the screen. ROTK is going on nearly 20 years, but the acting remains incredible, the FX, including the still-astounding Gollum, beautiful; and the big finale that sees our brave Hobbits, Sam and Frodo, ascend Mount Doom amidst Howard Shore’s epic score still packs quite the emotional wallop.

2. Die Hard with a Vengeance

Click here to purchase Die Hard with a Vengeance!

Die Hard with a Vengeance is perhaps the most underappreciated sequel of all time mostly because, as critics will say, “It doesn’t take place in a building.” Yet, everything about our third outing with Bruce Willis’ John McClane feels right. From Samuel L. Jackson’s terrific turn as a “good Samaritan” who inexplicably finds himself caught in the action, to Jeremy Irons’ cheeky villain, and the stellar set pieces, including that incredible subway scene, Vengeance stands as not only a fantastic sequel but, the last ten minutes or so withstanding, one of the better (and smarter) action films to ever hit theaters. Is it better than Die Hard? That’s a debate for another day.

3. The Dark Knight Rises

Click here to purchase The Dark Knight Rises!

Save for a rather rushed finale involving quite a few convoluted plot elements, and the bizarre decision to open the film with Batman crippled and retired — a decision that completely thwarts the finale of The Dark Knight as we now know Gotham’s watchful guardian simply went home and took a long nap – Christopher Nolan’s ambitious finale to his Dark Knight trilogy stands as a magnificent film in its own right. While not on par with either of its predecessors, Rises still enthralls with a powerful story centered around Bruce Wayne’s redemption and Gotham’s ultimate salvation; stunning action sequences, including a police chase that ranks among the series best, Hans Zimmer’s impeccable score, and fine performances from its all-star cast. Say what you will about Bane’s muffled dialogue, but Tom Hardy absolutely nails the role and deserves far more recognition than he was given.

4. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Click here to purchase Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on Blu-ray!

The safest entry to the Indy series, Last Crusade plods through much of its first act but finally kicks it into gear with the arrival of Professor Henry Jones, who, as played by the legendary Sean Connery, provides a much-needed spark to a rather by-the-numbers flick. We’re a long way from the nightmarish theatrics of Temple of Doom! Oh sure, there are a handful of action sequences to enjoy, the best being a thrilling tank chase through the desert, but it’s the rapport between Connery and star Harrison Ford that truly gives life to Steven Spielberg’s trilogy capper.

5. Skyfall

Click here to purchase Skyfall!

Is Skyfall the best James Bond movie ever? That’s up for debate, but there’s no denying Skyfall ranks amongst the greatest threequels thanks to a strong performance from Daniel Craig — bouncing back to form after a rather lackluster turn in the painfully bland Quantum of Solace — stunning action sequences, a memorable villain (played by scene-stealer Javier Bardem), and the strong chemistry between Craig and Judi Dench that ultimately provides the film an emotional foundation. Director Sam Mendes borrows quite a bit from Christopher Nolan in terms of style and plot which means this will probably be the closest thing to a Nolan-directed James Bond film we will ever see.

6. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Click here to purchase The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!

Yeah, yeah, technically Sergio Leone’s magnum opus is a prequel, but it’s still a threequel in that it released after both A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. At any rate, this classic Clint Eastwood actioner ranks amongst the finest westerns ever made what with its impeccable photography, thrilling set pieces, and Ennio Morricone’s sensational score. The final showdown at the cemetery is one of the best finales to grace the silver screen.

7. Christmas Vacation

Click here to purchase National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation!

In terms of classic films, you can’t get more classic than Christmas Vacation, which remains, perhaps, the best of the Vacation films if only due to Randy Quaid’s incredible comedic performance as Cousin Eddie. Sure, the comedy is more broad than clever and some of the jokes, including a running gag featuring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as an angry neighbor, don’t work as well as they should, but when the bits hit — the squirrel scene, the sled scene, the house lighting scene, any scene with Quaid – they hit really good.

8. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Click here to purchase Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!

The Harry Potter cinematic franchise had already stalled out after two flatfooted installments that basically adapted the books verbatim. Luckily, acclaimed director Alfonso Cuarón stepped in and guided Prisoner of Azkaban to extraordinary heights that set the bar for the remaining five films. And while the film still follows the JK Rowlings’ source material quite closely, Cuarón still manages to make everything feel fresh and alive. Some of the acting is a little wooden as the young actors adapt to longer takes and a more cinematic style (as opposed to Chris Columbus’ cut-around-the-performance approach), but Azkaban makes up for it with lush visuals, terrific FX, a superb John Williams score, and a story that all but ignores series villain Voldemort and manages to incorporate time travel in an entertaining fashion.

9. Toy Story 3

Click here to purchase Toy Story 3 (Plus Bonus Content)!

Where Toy Story and Toy Story 2 produced carefree adventures, the third entry in beloved franchise delves deeper into the horrifying life of toy-hood as Woody and Buzz must deal with the loss of their owner Andy, who outgrew his playthings long ago, all the while dealing with a murderous pink bear named Lotso. Yikes! This colorful animated caper works mainly due to its loveable characters and Michael Arndt’s sharp screenplay, even if the story by John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, and Lee Unkrich bites off a little more than it can chew — at one point, our toys are almost incinerated by fire! Which begs questions: What happens when they die? Do they go to Heaven or Hell? Should we care? No matter, the animation is amongst the best produced by Pixar, the Ken doll (voiced by Michael Keaton) is hilarious, and the big jailbreak set piece remains a high point in animated comedy. Just don’t think about it too hard.

10. Star Wars — Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Click here to purchase Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (Plus Bonus Content)!

Which is better? Return of the Jedi, Richard Marquand’s George Lucas’ satisfying, though clunky, finale to his original Star Wars saga, or Revenge of the Sith, George Lucas’ satisfying, though clunky, finale to his prequel series? Both films have their high points (Jabba, the final space battle, Luke v Vader v the Emperor; the opening space battle over Coruscant, Order 66, Obi-Wan v Anakin) and low points (the Ewoks, Carrie Fisher’s acting, Han Solo; everyone’s acting, Anakin’s bad day, “I have the high ground!”), but both are ultimately satisfying in their own right. Still, Sith is definitely the more polished of the two with its eye-popping visuals, darker tone, and John Williams’ magnificent score, even if every great moment is matched by an eye-rolling “He killed younglings” bit that unintentionally induces laughs.

Honorable Mentions

Clear and Present Danger

The original Jack Ryan series that started with The Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games goes off in spectacular fashion with Harrison Ford thwarting drug cartels and corrupt politicians in this suspenseful action extravaganza.

The Bourne Ultimatum

Paul Greengrass’ finale doesn’t quite capture the visceral thrills of Supremacy, and features action scenes that feel more obligatory than necessary. Still, Matt Damon rocks in the role, and that Morocco fight sequence oozes suspense.

Alien 3: Assembly Cut

The third film in the Alien saga works as a standalone film (as in, separate from Aliens) and earns points for its bleak, nihilistic tone — the movie opens with a child getting drowned — unique visuals, and Elliot Goldenthal’s haunting score, but never achieves the chills of Ridley Scott’s 1979 shocker or the thrills of James Cameron’s action-packed follow-up.

Netflix lands Ryan Reynolds co-writing & acting vehicle Upstate

As if Ryan Reynolds wasn’t already the busiest man in Hollywood, the 43-year-old performer has added another new project to his upcoming roster with the comedy Upstate, which is being developed as a vehicle for him to star in and co-write, according to Variety.

Plot details are currently being kept under wraps for the project, but Reynolds is set to co-write the screenplay with John August, with whom he previously worked on the 2007 ensemble sci-fi psychological thriller The Nines, August acting as writer/director and Reynolds as the lead on the project.

In addition to co-writing and starring, Reynolds is set to executive produce Upstate via his Maximum Effort production banner alongside August. It marks the latest project Reynolds has added to his production banner after signing on earlier this month to the monster comedy Everyday Parenting Tips at Universal Pictures, based on Simon Rich’s New Yorker short story of the same name, in which he is also set to produce and star.

Upstate is also the latest collaboration between the Deadpool star and Netflix, with Reynolds first partnering with the streaming service for Michael Bay’s 6 Underground and currently is awaiting to resume shooting on the action-comedy Red Notice from Rawson Marshall Thurber (Central Intelligence) and co-starring Dwayne Johnson (Jungle Cruise) and Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman 1984).

Alongside his sole feature directorial credit on The Nines, August is well-known for his work scripting a number of major titles over the years including the early 2000s Charlie’s Angels films, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and multiple Tim Burton collaborations including Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Dark Shadows and Frankenweenie.
