‘The movie you’ll never see’ is hidden in a bulletproof safe that will automatically open in 2115

Those involved in the making of '100 Years' are going to extreme lengths to make sure the movie is not seen for, well, 100 years

It's exciting news for those who are going to be around in 100 years time, but not so much for us.

A - very far in the future - upcoming experimental sci-fi film written and starring John Malkovich is set to hit screens in, well, 2115.

And if you were hoping for some sort of leak to take place so you'd be in with a chance of seeing the movie before your great grandchildren do, then unfortunately, you'll have to get into some serious safe cracking.

Directed by Robert Rodriguez, not much has been publicly revealed about the movie bar it being produced by French company Rémy Martin to promote it's cognac - titled Louis XIII - which takes 100 years to create.

Rodriguez got to work making several short films for the company and the one they identified they liked the most - titled 100 Years - they decided to 'lock away' for a century - a nod to how long it takes to make the drink.

The short film was advertised in 2015 with the tagline 'The Movie You Will Never See' and three teaser trailers were released - titled Retro, Nature and Future - however, the plot of the film has been kept firmly under wraps.

And Rémy Martin and the rest of the team involved are certainly going to great lengths to ensure absolutely no one does see the movie before its release in 2115 by keeping it locked in a safe.

In a 2019 interview with INTHEPANDA, Rodriguez said in the process of making 'several short films' for the company, the first one that got finished - which he believed was 'gonna be a commercial or something' - was 100 Years.

He said: "I showed them the movie and they said, 'Yeah, that's great, that's great. That's the one we lock away.'

"And I said, 'What? That's the one you lock away? What about the other one with the future...' 'No, that's the commercial'."

And it turns out the company quite literally meant they were going to 'lock away' the film, a copy of the movie shipped to the cellars of Louis XIII in Cognac, France, where it will remain in a high-tech safe protected by bulletproof glass until the year 2115.

And even though Malkovich himself won't get to see it, he's not all that 'bothered' by it.

Speaking to Hollywood Reporter in 2015, he said: "It’s odd, but I thought the idea was so good. I’m not at all bothered even that I won’t see it. For me, it was a strange experience, as they often are, and unexpected, as they often are. We had no interference, we had no particular supervision.

"We could just say, “I was thinking about this, and what about that?”

When the premier date finally rolls around in the November nearly a century on from now, the storage unit will automatically open, allowing one thousand guests to watch 100 Years for the first time.

So, don't hold your breath unless you fancy pulling some sort of Now You See Me style heist.
