July 15, 2021 source the upcoming doc about Bourdain Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain has been eagerly awaited, but now a new interview with filmmaker Morgan Neville (“20 Feet from Stardom”) has raised ethical questions
Neville wanted Bourdain himself to narrate his own emails and used past interviews + videos of him to stitch the dialogue together. For three quotes he used an artificial intelligence model of Bourdain's voice
“If you watch the film, other than that line you mentioned, you probably don’t know what the other lines are that were spoken by the A.I., and you’re not going to know”
Neville says he got the approval of Bourdain's estate for this
