"100 Years": This Film Was Shot Back in 2015, But None of Us Will Live to See Its Premiere

Contents:
What if you could make a film that none of us will ever see? Director Robert Rodriguez and actor John Malkovich took on this bold experiment, creating a movie that will only be screened in one hundred years' time. And so the "100 Years" project was born.

Why 100 Years

The idea to delay the film's premiere for years, according to "Wikipedia", emerged as part of an advertising campaign for French cognac house Louis XIII, whose spirits are aged for a century.

The film's premiere is scheduled for November 18, 2115, and right now in 2025, we can only guess what awaits us on screen in 90 years (so far, only fragments of the plot are known).

What the Film Is About

This sci-fi picture plunges us into different versions of the future. It shows how events in the world might unfold: from dystopia to utopia, from progressive technologies to returning to nature. All of this is demonstrated by the main characters: John Malkovich, Chinese actress Shuya Chang, and Chilean actor Marko Zaror.

What We Know About the Project

"100 Years" can truly be called art, because in 2015 the creators staged a spectacular presentation at the Cannes Festival, showing only a safe containing the film reel that stores the movie, but not the film itself.

This time capsule is guarded behind bulletproof glass in Louis XIII's cellars, and while we can't find out what exactly we'll see, we can be sure it'll be a truly epochal event.

Visual Style and Teasers

The creators, however, didn't leave viewers completely in the dark. Since the announcement, three film teasers have been released - "Nature," "Future," and "Retro."

In them, we're shown not so much the film itself, but possible versions of the future in which humanity might live. Each teaser reflects one of the variants of how the world might change, and we, in turn, can only imagine what awaits us in 2115.

The Film's Premiere

Picture this: 1,000 metal tickets, each of which will be passed down to the descendants of those who receive invitations to the premiere (including the director and main cast members).

So who among us might be able to see this unique film? Probably only those who manage to survive this century - our children and our children's children, but most likely not us, unless they invent a magic anti-aging pill by then. Earlier on zoomboola.com, we told you about the film "Turbo Charged Prelude to 2 Fast 2 Furious": you definitely haven't seen this Fast & Furious short film with Paul Walker.
