Richard Branson, Subject Of New Docuseries, Says Pioneering Space Flight Didn’t Produce A “Thunderbolt” Moment: “I’ll Let You Know” If It Happens
02.12.2022 - 02:07 / deadline.com
It took a long, long time for Richard Branson to achieve his goal of blasting off into space, but it finally occurred last year after more than a billion dollars invested through his company Virgin Galactic.
“Nothing could prepare you for the view of Earth from space,” he said upon landing. But in a new interview with Deadline, he says the experience did not imbue him that a transcendent “overview effect,” the sense of awe about our place in universe or the perspective of a planet without natural political boundaries, unlike what other astronauts have reported feeling.
“I don’t think there was like a lightning bolt moment in the space flight,” he tells Deadline. “It was extraordinary. It was everything I’d dreamt it would be… But I’ll let you know when I get the thunderbolt.”
The adventurer, entrepreneur and founder of the Virgin group of companies is the subject of the four-part documentary series Branson, which premieres with episode 1 on HBO tonight. Fresh episodes will follow on successive Thursdays and the series will also stream on HBO Max. Doc veteran Chris Smith (Sr., Bad Vegan) directed the series, filming the key interviews with Branson at his island getaway in the British Virgin Islands just days before his long-awaited liftoff.
“Every documentary filmmaker will have a list of subjects that they would be interested in covering,” Smith notes. “Knowing that this person lived on an island in the British Virgin Islands, I was curious like, how did you end up there? How did that happen? What was that journey like?”
Despite that initial curiosity, Smith says it took some time to identify a proper through-line for the series.
“With every project you’re like, what is the angle? What is the reason for this to exist?

Robert Downey Jr. On The Father-Son Journey In ‘Sr.,’ Netflix Docu On His Filmmaker Dad
EXCLUSIVE: After festival premieres in Telluride, AFI and New York, the Chris Smith-directed documentary Sr. just began its run on Netflix. What began as a docu about Robert Downey Sr, the ’60s counterculture director of avant garde films like Putney Swope and Greaser’s Palace, Sr. evolved into much more as the process stretched over three years due to the pandemic and the decline of the subject’s health. Robert Downey Jr., who spurned Smith’s offer to make a docu about his life and career, became more of a central figure onscreen, along with producing with wife and Team Downey partner Susan Downey. On full display is all the mad wit that informed Downey Sr’s films (Paul Thomas Anderson considered Downey Sr. a formative influence and put him in Boogie Nights and Magnolia). Sr. became something you don’t see often: candor from two generations of a film family that got chewed up but managed to come out the other side intact, bonding and healing before Downey Sr. succumbed to Parkinson’s in July 2021 at age 85. Here, his Jr. describes what the journey means to him.
