What's an upcoming movie you're looking forward to?
Maybe Joker 2, or whatever heart-wrenching creation Disney will come up with next?
Whatever it is, just be glad they're being released in this century.
The same can't be said for a certain movie by director Robert Rodriguez and writer/actor John Malkovich, who have created a title that won't be released until 2115.
Obviously, there's a little issue with the fact that the majority of people alive today will no longer be around to watch this movie - unless we all get really good at reversing our biological ages - but that's actually the point.

Aptly titled 100 Years: The Movie You Will Never See, details of the project are being kept firmly under wraps until the premiere on 18 November, 2115.
However, we do know that it's actually been created as a promo of sorts in collaboration with Louis XIII Cognac, owned by Rémy Martin.
Described as an experimental science fiction flick, the project has Malkovich starring as the male lead, and is inspired by the hundred years it takes for a bottle of the luxury liquor to properly age.

Meanwhile, Snakehead star Shuya Chang plays the female protagonist, and Redeemer actor Marko Zaror appears as the antagonist.
The short film also features a song written by Pharrell Williams, but while the rest of the film is being kept under wraps, a select few people were lucky enough to hear his track at a listening party in Shanghai back in 2017.
Williams' contribution to the project doubles as a challenge for humanity as his song has been stored on a water-soluble clay disc - which means it will be destroyed if the sea levels rise too much.

The secrecy surrounding the film - and the fact we'll probably never get to see it in full - hasn't stopped the creators from releasing three teaser trailers, titled 'Retro', 'Nature' and 'Future'.
To prevent it from getting leaked before the due date, a copy of 100 Years: The Movie You Will Never See was shipped to the cellars of Louis XIII in Cognac, France, where it will remain in a high-tech safe that is protected by bulletproof glass.
When the premier date finally rolls around, the storage unit will automatically open, allowing one thousand guests to watch 100 Years for the first time.
Among the crowd will be relatives of Malkovich and Rodriguez, who have been given tickets to hand down to their chosen descendants.
