TIL that a short film named "100 Years" starring John Malkovich was shot in 2015, destined to be released in the year 2115

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_Years_(film)

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."


I found out while watching an Interview with Claudio Miranda and after that checking his Filmography section on Wikipedia

And nobody will give a shit. This movie is just marketing for some booze anyways, and I doubt it's even real

It's an interesting concept but 100 years is stupidly too much

If by some miracle of science I make it to 2115, I still won’t give a shit about a cognac commercial.

For sure. There will also be a shit ton of other one-hundred-year old short films that were available, but you never watched that you also won't give a shit about.

No film is worth waiting 100 years for. CMV.

Well if you're born in 1877 in a world of telegraphs and steam engines and got to live a hundred years and see Star Wars I in the cinema I think you'd have a bit of an epiphany about how much the ability to fantasize about the future has grown over your lifetime.

Star Wars wouldn’t have been worth a 100 year wait.

That’s funny because it will “leak” at some point not far into the future.

Like Dolly Parton's “My Place in History,” locked away in a Dollywood time capsule to celebrate the 31st year of the park opening and her to be 100th birthday.

I love shirt like this. I won’t be around, and I don’t care if they did it for stupid reasons. I think it’s cool.
