Most of us would love to design an object that people were still using after our deaths. But would you work on a project that could only be experienced after you, your children and your grandchildren had all left this earth?

Actor John Malkovich and director Robert Rodriguez were paid what I assume was a lot of money to make a film that no one alive today will ever see. That's because even though it was already shot and produced, it's not going to be released for 100 years. This month, they claim, they locked the finished cut up in a time-activated vault that won't pop open until the year 2115.

Malkovich and Rodriguez were approached by booze company Rémy Martin, whose Louis XIII Cognac can be up to 100 years old. Thus the company cooked up this idea to make a film—called 100 Years, naturally—that would undergo the fate described above. All they'll say about the film is that it's set in present day.

As for how the eventual viewers will get tickets, io9 reports that "The team at Louis XIII…are sending out metal movie tickets to about 1,000 influential people inviting them to invite their descendants to a screening exactly one century from today. At that time, they'll grab an old projector (the movie will be preserved on film stock) and press play."

I'm actually more interested in seeing what these metal tickets look like than I am in seeing the movie.
