100 Years: The Movie You’ll Never See — A Cinematic Time Capsule for the Future
A film for the future generation
What if a movie were made today but intentionally locked away, unseen for an entire century? That’s the premise of 100 Years, a cinematic enigma shrouded in mystery and intrigue, slated for release on November 18, 2115. Directed by visionary filmmaker Robert Rodriguez and starring the ever-charismatic John Malkovich, 100 Years is not just a movie; it’s an ambitious experiment in delayed gratification, a time capsule of storytelling meant for an audience that doesn’t yet exist.
The Concept: A Film Frozen in Time
Conceived in partnership with luxury cognac brand Louis XIII, 100 Years is designed to mirror the aging process of the brand’s signature drink. Just as the cognac matures over a century in oak barrels, so too will this film wait a hundred years to reach its intended audience. The movie’s tagline, "The Movie You Will Never See," is both a promise and a challenge—a provocative reminder of the fleeting nature of our time and the enduring power of art.
The movie’s content remains a closely guarded secret, with no synopsis or substantial plot details revealed. All that is known is that three teasers were released in 2015, each offering a speculative vision of the future. These teasers — titled "Future Earth," "Retro Future," and "Post-Apocalyptic Future" — teased a diverse range of potential settings, leaving fans to wonder which (if any) reflects the final narrative.
The Hype and the Mystery
100 Years has become a cultural curiosity, sparking endless speculation and debate. The idea of creating something specifically for future generations challenges the modern obsession with instant gratification. It’s a bold statement about legacy, reminding us that some stories are meant to transcend time.
The film’s physical reels are being stored in a high-tech safe designed to open automatically in 2115. This futuristic vault is housed in the Louis XIII cellars in Cognac, France, ensuring the movie remains untouched and preserved for its eventual unveiling. Tickets to the premiere have been distributed to select individuals, with the understanding that they will pass them down to their descendants.
A Thought-Provoking Legacy
While most of us will never get to see 100 Years, its very existence encourages us to think about the future in a unique way. What will the world look like in 2115? Will cinema even exist in its current form? Will humanity still be around to press play? By bridging the present and the distant future, 100 Years is a profound statement about art’s ability to outlast its creators.
A Movie for the Ages
"100 Years: The Movie You’ll Never See" may be the ultimate exercise in patience and foresight. It’s a cinematic time capsule that invites us to imagine a world far beyond our own lifetimes. While we may not be around to watch it, the very idea of its existence serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the boundless possibilities of human creativity. For those alive in 2115, 100 Years might just be the most anticipated premiere in history. Until then, we’re left with the tantalizing mystery of a movie made not for us, but for the future.

About the Creator
The daughter of silence
It all started when Echo was five. She kept having these nightmares where she would just fall into a dark pit, screaming insanely loud, yet no one, not even her own parents would hear her. It was terrifying. But the most horrible part was that when she'd wake up panting, her parents were nowhere to be found, just like in her dream. She'd always cry herself to sleep alone and helpless.
