Director who made movie which won't release until 2115 wants to 'clone himself' for premiere

Robert Rodriguez has described the film as some of his 'best work'

The man behind what is surely the only film currently set to be released in 2115 has revealed he wants to clone himself to make sure he'll be around to attend the premiere.

If you can hardly bare the thought of having to wait a few months for a movie, then you probably won't be a fan of Robert Rodriguez.

The director behind Sin City and From Dusk 'til Dawn is also responsible for creating 100 Years, a short film which is fully finished, but which won't be released until 18 November, 2115.

You don't need to be a genius to know that means most of us - including 55-year-old Rodriguez - will be dead and buried by the time it comes out, but the director is hopeful science will lend him a helping hand.

In an interview with The Bellissimo Files, Rodriguez said the film was his 'best work', adding: "I was so sad they locked it away, I was like 'I want people to see this'."

The director revealed he'd been given tickets to the premiere to pass on to his descendants, but after putting in all of the work to make the movie, Rodriguez wants to be there on the big night himself.

"I hope can clone myself so I can go and see it, because they're going to show it in 100 years," he said.

Considering how much filmmaking has changed even just in the last few decades, it definitely would be interesting to see how 100 Years holds up when it's finally released so many years from now.

Much like long-forgotten VHS tapes that no longer have a video player to slot into, who's to say whether the system used to capture 100 Years will even still work in a century?

I guess Rodriguez will just have to keep his fingers crossed - or hope that he really can clone himself so he can be around to tell the future film fans how to press play.

As for the rest of us, we'll just have to live with the details that have so far been released about 100 Years, which include the fact that it stars Con Air actor John Malkovich.

The film is set - you guessed it - 100 years in the future, and is known to fall into the science fiction genre.

Bizarrely, though, the setting of the movie isn't the only reason it's being kept secret for 100 years. The flick has been made in a partnership with Louis XIII Cognac, which inspired the film with the 100-year process that goes into making the alcohol.
