100 Years is an upcoming science fiction film written by John Malkovich and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Advertized with the tagline "The Movie You Will Never See", it is due to be released on 18 November 2115, matching the 100 years it takes for a bottle of Louis XIII Cognac to be released to consumers. The film stars an international ensemble, with American actor John Malkovich, Chinese actress Shuya Chang, and Chilean actor Marko Zaror.
Plot
The plot is a closely held secret, which is not expected to be revealed until the film itself is released in November 2115.[1]

While the details of the film have been kept highly secret, the names and roles of three actors have been released:[2][3]

- Marko Zaror as Bad Guy
Production
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.[4] Although the film's plot remains a complete secret, on 18 November 2015, Malkovich and Rodriguez released three teaser trailers: Retro,[3] Nature,[5] and Future.[6] None showed footage from the film, but instead imagined three possible futures, from a dystopic wasteland to a technological paradise.
Release
Pending release, the film is being kept in a high-tech safe behind bulletproof glass that will open automatically on 18 November 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.[4][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 Cognac, France and the Louis XIII cellars.[8]
