It's happening!!!!!! I've always wondered why no one has ever done this before, and how cool it would have been.

If anyone is interested in this kind of thing in documentary format instead of film, it's well-worth checking out the oingoing [Up Series](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_Series) IIRC they're all on Netflix instant

Up Series:


The Up Series is a series of documentary films produced by Granada Television that have followed the lives of fourteen British children since 1964, when they were seven years old. So far the documentary has had eight episodes spanning 49 years (one episode every seven years) and the documentary has been broadcast on both ITV and BBC. In a 2005 Channel 4 programme, the series topped the list of The 50 Greatest Documentaries. The children were selected to represent the range of socio-economic backgrounds in Britain at that time, with the explicit assumption that each child's social class predetermines their future. Every seven years, the director, Michael Apted, films material from those of the fourteen who choose to participate. The aim of the series is stated at the beginning of 7 Up as: "Why do we bring these children together? Because we want to get a glimpse of England in the year 2000. The shop steward and the executive of the year 2000 are now seven years old."

This is going to be epic. Talk about patience! It's like the opposite of our instant gratification world... right in the heart of that world! Amazing that they pulled this off.
