I'm betting on viral marketing, surely no one would fund this otherwise.
What if everyone just said "ok" and didn't care?

The idea:
Make a movie to predict what life will be like in 100 years.
Lock it away in a timed safe so no one can see it for 100 years.



Maybe this is some kind of Star Fleet monitored marketing trick?
Years become months...
Months become days...
Days become hours...

In a hundred years it shows a short two minute clip taken from an iPhone explaining how they can make a crapload of money by making what is billed as an extremely expensive time capsule that is also predictive in nature.

The trick, of course, is not actually show the film to anyone.

And the predictive part is that the maker assumes people will be just as gullible in a hundred years as they are now.


The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.

Isn't that basically what Uwe Boll has been producing for the past 15 years? Movies that no one will see? wink


Why men throw their lives away attacking an armed Witcher... I'll never know. Something wrong with my face?

Yup. Those movies were basically tax write off's for Boll since almost all of them lost money.
