100 YEARS(2115 film)

John Malkovich
 John malkovich are Robert Rodriguez are one of the most important pioneers of the hollywood film fraternity in acting and film making respectively.Both of them are having some all time block busters on their credit commercially andcritically. Think the secrecy around the biggest Hollywood blockbusters is crazy? They don’t come close to what John Malkovich and Robert Rodriguez are doing. The pair has collaborated for a film that no one will see for 100 years. Literally.

This isn’t some joke. They’ve made a film, called 100 Years, which is being placed in a special time-locked safe that won’t open again until November 18, 2115.Even it might be impossible for both of their grand children to witness their work which is gonna rewrite the history of the hollywood industry.Why? Well, because it’s promotion for Louis XIII Cognac, an ultra-luxury liquor that is aged 100 years. Bottles currently on shelves were made in 1915 so they decided a piece of art that speaks to their commitment to quality was something worth doing.
  
“Louis XIII is a true testament to the mastery of time and we sought to create a proactive piece of art that explores the dynamic relationship of the past, present and future,” said 
global executive director of Louis XIII, Ludovic du Plessis, in a news release.
                                                                 
They approached Malkovich, who du Plessis calls the “the greatest actor of his generation,” to come up with an idea. What that idea is, they would not say. It’s all part of the secrecy and illusion. All they’d say was it’s set in the present and is “emotionally charged,” according to Rodriguez.

“There were several options when the project was first presented of what [the future] would be,” said Malkovich. “An incredibly high tech, beyond computerized version of the world, a post-Chernoybl, back to nature, semi-collapsed civilization and then there was a retro future which was how the future was imagined in science fiction of the 1940s or 50s.”“Some of it was strangely accurate, oddly enough, but of course the vast majority of it was unimaginable. And I think that’s what the future is to most of us,” he said.

Shuya chang is the female lead in the movie.In a cool twist Louis XIII will be giving out 1000 metal tickets that will allow the receiver's descendants to see the screening of " 100 years" in 100 years.
