In a unique collaboration, director Robert Rodriguez and writer/actor John Malkovich, alongside Louis XIII Cognac, have created a film that no one will see for a full century. Titled 100 Years, this experimental science fiction film was first teased in 2015 with the intriguing tagline: “The Movie You Will Never See.” Set to premiere on November 18, 2115, it challenges our perception of time and art.
While the plot remains a closely guarded secret, teaser trailers released back in 2015 hint at a narrative that may explore themes of science fiction, nature, or a retro aesthetic. Each trailer suggests a story involving a hero, a heroine, and a male villain, but no specific details have been unveiled. This shroud of mystery adds an air of anticipation, leaving audiences to wonder what creative direction the film might take.
The film’s title and concept are inspired by the lengthy process of crafting a bottle of Louis XIII, which takes a century to perfect. In a fascinating twist, the Cognac brand has placed a bottle of Louis XIII alongside the movie in a high-tech safe, protected by bulletproof glass. This safe is designed to unlock automatically on the day of the film’s release, allowing the lucky few to finally witness both the film and the exquisite cognac that accompanies it.
Adding to the artistic allure, singer and producer Pharrell Williams collaborated on a song titled “100 Years” for the film’s release, enhancing the project’s artistic scope. Just as each cellar master dedicates his life to creating a LOUIS XIII masterpiece that he will never experience, the cast and crew of 100 Years will never see the final cut of their own film. This poignant parallel led to a creative exploration of what the future might hold a century from now, prompting both excitement and reflection on the passage of time.
As for the premiere in 2115, who will be fortunate enough to attend? A select group of one thousand guests from around the globe, including Malkovich and Rodriguez themselves, will receive metallic invitation tickets to the event. These tickets are designed to be passed down through generations, turning them into unique family heirlooms. It’s an extraordinary inheritance, don’t you think?
In 2015, three teaser trailers were released for 100 Years. While each trailer features slight variations to represent retro, nature, and futuristic themes, they ultimately convey the same intriguing visual elements. The trailers do little to reveal the actual plot, leaving viewers only with glimpses of a hero, a heroine, and a villain—enough to spark curiosity but not enough to divulge the story’s secrets.
So, are you planning to tell your descendants to keep an eye out for this film? What do you think it will be like? As we ponder the enigma of 100 Years, it becomes clear that this project is more than just a film; it’s a fascinating commentary on time, legacy, and the art of storytelling itself.
