Director Morgan Neville recently revealed in an interview with The New Yorker that the filmmakers used deepfake technology in the production of Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain to create a voiceover that sounds like it was done by the deceased chef, author, and documentarian.

In Roadrunner, the viewer watches as Bourdain struggles with his meteoric rise from a normal restaurant chef to a world renowned author and television personality. In one scene, he appears to read part of an email that he sent to a friend aloud. “You are successful, and I am successful, and I’m wondering: Are you happy?” his voice says in the film.
