100 Years: The Movie You Will Never see
louis Xiii Cognac, one of the most luxurious spirits in the world, announced an original film, starring actor John Malkovich, which envisions earth one hundred years from now and will not be released until 2115. Directed by robert rodriguez “100 Years”, the movie you will never see, was inspired by the century of careful craftsmanship and patience it takes to create each decanter of louis Xiii Cognac. To ensure that “100 Years”
John Malkovich remains secure until its official premiere on November 18, 2115, one century from now, the film was placed in a stateof-the-art safe, which will open automatically in 100 years when the timing is complete. one thousand guests from around the world received an exclusive invitation to give to their descendants to attend the premiere of “100 Years”, on November 18, 2115, at the house of louis Xiii in Cognac, France.
While this groundbreaking film will not be released until 2115, three teasers have been produced that explore hypothetical visions of what earth might be like in one hundred years. each teaser begins with the same dialogue and incorporates the actors, but each presents a different future. one imagines the earth one hundred years from now overtaken by nature. another imagines a world ruled by technology, after extraterrestrial exploration when earth becomes ultra-urbanized and technologically advanced. and the third teaser imagines that humanoid robots have taken control of the earth and humans have to run to escape. They engage viewers to question which vision is closest to tomorrow’s reality.
100 Years” was celebrated with an exclusive preview of the film’s trailer at the sheats Goldstein Mansion in los angeles. When the safe is finally unlocked in one hundred years, guests will be welcomed – including the future cellar master, and a descendant of each guest who received a ticket to the film’s preview in 2015 – to an exclusive premiere at the Domaine du Grollet in Cognac, France, on November 18th, 2115.
