You may have heard that John Malkovich is starring in a film that won't be released until the year 2115.

Directed by Robert Rodriguez, 100 Years has been billed as "the movie you will never see" and Malkovich is bringing the film to this year's Cannes Film Festival - appropriately locked away in a safe.

Apparently, the special safe is programmed to open "automatically in 100 years when the timing is complete... to ensure that 100 Years remains secure until its official premiere."



General delegate of Cannes Film Festival Thierry Frémaux has deemed Rodriguez's film "an innovative cinematographic project," telling Entertainment Weekly: "I hope that our descendants will consider the movie 100 Years for the Palme d’Or at Cannes Film Festival in 2116".

Speaking in a behind-the-scenes clip, Malkovich said: "Part of the notion inherent in this is for us to try to imagine what the world will be like in 100 years."

Rodriguez added: "I was intrigued by the concept of working on a film that nobody would ever see in my lifetime."
