This futuristic movie filmed in 2015 won't be released until you're dead

We’re all used to having to wait quite a while for a new film to be released.

When the movie adaptation of Wicked was first announced in 2016, it had a proposed release date of 2019, but eight years later and we’re still waiting following delays.

With the film having now been split into two installations, we’re finally getting the first half towards the end of this year and the second is planned to go out in 2025.

It feels like we’ve been waiting for a lifetime but there is one film that actually will take our whole lives to make before it’s released.

The futuristic movie was filmed back in 2015 but it won’t come out in theaters until 2115.

It’s been appropriately named 100 Years and we won’t be around to watch it when it finally hits screens.

While this method of filmmaking isn’t a new concept after Richard Linklater spent 12 years making Boyhood as the actor grew up, it certainly is taking it to the extreme.

Dubbed ‘The Movie You Will Never See’ in the tagline, it stars John Malkovich and is directed by Spy Kids and From Dusk Till Dawn’s Robert Rodriguez.

The short film will imagine Earth a century into the future, and won't be released until 2115. And why, exactly?

Because it's a promotion for Louis XIII Cognac, which also takes 100 years to properly age before it’s sold to consumers.

There’s been numerous teasers for the film, each showing a different vision of 2115.

Malkovich explained: “There were several options when the project was first presented of what [the future] would be.

“An incredibly high tech, beyond computerized version of the world, a post-Chernoybl, back to nature, semi-collapsed civilisation and then there was a retro future which was how the future was imagined in science fiction of the 1940s or 50s.”

Rodriguez was already making short films for the luxury alcohol brand when they explained the concept to him.

He told INTHEPANDA: “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.’

“The one that I was most attached to was the one they locked away.”

100 Years will be released 18 November, 2115 - not that any of us will be here to see it.
