Original Post, April 27, 2021: It's been almost three years since the world lost iconic chef Anthony Bourdain, but his impact on the food and travel world is far from forgotten. Though fans of the late journalist and author may still be digesting his recent and final posthumous book, World Travel: An Irreverent Guide (which hit shelves earlier this month), if you're still left yearning for more, you'll want to tune into a new documentary being released this summer.
Titled Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain, the documentary is being helmed by Academy Award-winning director-producer Morgan Neville and is scheduled to debut on June 11 at the Tribeca Film Festival. The new documentary will then see its theatrical release on July 16. After the initial theater run is over, however, fans will be able to stream the release in full on both HBO Max and CNN.
According to a release about the CNN Films and HBO Max executive-produced film, Roadrunner will see Neville give fans a peek into the “uncommon life of the late storyteller, explorer, and chef, Anthony Bourdain." And if Neville's previous success with biographical films like 20 Feet from Stardom and the 2018 Mr. Rogers documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor? are anything to go by, it can only be assumed that this will also produce nothing but rounds of applause at every theater it's shown in.
Bourdain, who became widely famous in 2000 after the release of his book Kitchen Confidential and hosted the popular CNN culinary travel guide series "Parts Unknown," died in June 2018 at the age of 61.
