Around that time, Mr. Bourdain wrote to his friend and artist David Choe: “David, this is a crazy thing to ask, but I’m curious,” describing his life with an expletive, “You’re successful, and I’m successful, and I’m wondering: Are you happy?” In the film, the email is read in Mr. Bourdain’s voice, which was created with artificial intelligence technology, according to The New Yorker. “I know how hard that must’ve been for him to even write that email,” Mr. Choe said in the documentary, “to reach out to someone and be like, ‘Hey man, I’m not doing well.’” One of the film’s most powerful scenes happens at a restaurant, where Mr. Bourdain is sitting across from the musician Iggy Pop, and he asks him a curious question: “What thrills you?” Iggy Pop answers, “It’s really embarrassing, but bei...

In her recent court testimonies, the star has implied that she doesn't have access to her money, despite working to earn it for decades. WHO IS BRITNEY SPEARS' NEW LAWYE...

Neville pored over hundreds of hours of footage of Bourdain to stitch together voice-overs for the film, which hits theaters Friday, he told the outlet. When he couldn’t find an existing narration to match an email he wanted read in the film, he made it up, according to the report. “There were three quotes there I wanted his voice for that there were no recordings of,” Neville reporte...
