Shamook: Star Wars effects company ILM hires Mandalorian deepfaker. Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain. “Roadrunner” Review: The Haunting Afterlife of Anthony Bourdain in a New Documentary. It’s been three years since Anthony Bourdain died, by suicide, in June of 2018, and the void he left is still a void.
“I wish Anthony Bourdain was here to see this,” countless people have tweeted over the past thirty-seven-ish months, on occasions as varied as a New York gubernatorial candidate ordering a cinnamon-raisin bagel, the White House serving a McDonald’s banquet, the collapse of the American restaurant industry, and the sputtering attempts to revive the same. Bourdain was a television megastar, a fluid and conversational writer, a social-media gadfly, a pointed cultural commentator, and seemingly everyone’s best friend.
The singularity of his celebrity and the suddenness of his death have fuelled an uncommonly intense, uncommonly enduring grief—a personal sense of public loss, of a sort usually reserved for popes and Presidents. According to the film, the possibility of happiness was the question that propelled and consumed Bourdain. AI narration of chef Anthony Bourdain's voice sparks row. What Was Anthony Bourdain Searching For? One outcome for Neville, who never met Bourdain in life, was the ability to get to know his subject through a mind-boggling 100,000 hours of footage.
(Even that didn’t prove quite enough: the director had an AI voice created that allows Bourdain to “say” several things in the film that he had, in life, only committed to the page.) As we enter a period of Bourdain saturation—an oral history will be published in the fall and at least two podcasts about the man are reportedly in the works—Neville talked, from his office in Los Angeles, about the process of assembling a narrative from that embarrassment of riches, and about the challenges of telling a complicated story about a man who has become something of a secular saint in the years since his death.
