100 Years is an upcoming experimental science fiction film written by and starring John Malkovich and directed by Robert Rodriguez. It is produced by the French company Rémy Martin to promote Louis XIII, their cognac which takes 100 years to create. Advertised in 2015 with the tagline "The Movie You Will Never See", it is due to be released on November 18, 2115. The film stars an international ensemble cast, with American actor John Malkovich, Chinese actress Shuya Chang, and Chilean actor Marko Zaror.
100 Years is apparently a short film. Rodriguez stated in a 2019 interview:
I was making several short films for them, and I finished that one first, we shot that one first, I thought that was gonna be a commercial or something. And then 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."
While the details of the film have been kept highly secret, the names of three actors have been released:[1][2]
Malkovich and Rodriguez announced in November 2015 that they had teamed with Louis XIII Cognac, owned by Rémy Martin, to create a film inspired by the hundred years it takes to make a bottle of Louis XIII.[3] Although the film's plot remains a complete secret, on November 18, 2015, Malkovich and Rodriguez released three teaser trailers: Retro,[2] Nature,[4] and Future.[5][6]
Pending release, the a reel of the film (alongside one bottle of Louis XIII) is being kept behind bullet-proof glass inside a time locked high-tech Fichet-Bauche safe at the Louis XIII cellars in Cognac, France, that is not able to be opened with a key or code. The safe will open automatically at an unknown time on November 18, 2115, the day of the film's premiere. One thousand guests from around the world, including Malkovich and Rodriguez, have received a pair of invitation tickets made of metal for the premiere, which they can hand down to their descendants.[3][7] The safe in which 100 Years is kept was showcased at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival and various other cities before being returned to the Louis XIII cellars.[8]
A song, "100 Years", is said by Louis XIII Cognac to have been composed for them by Pharrell Williams and performed live, once, at a private party. Louis XIII Cognac has promised that a recording of the song will be issued in 2117.[9]
