“God and science: volume II. This is one of the main projects on which Grichka and Igor Bogdanov were planking, who died in hospital six days apart following complications related to Covid-19. “They wanted to write the sequel to their biggest success, thirty years later,” says their agent, Damien Nougarede. By recounting the place of God in science and the place of science in religion. For that, they even planned to involve Pope Francis, whom they were to meet in the coming months. “
“Their manuscript was well advanced. They had been working there for years. Grichka started a sentence and Igor finished it. I myself delivered a letter and the first book God and science in Italian to the Pope in Rome, in 2018, reveals the agent. Then there were letters exchanged with the apostolic nunciature. The meeting with the Pope in 2022 was only announced to me by the twins: they were to go there with Bolloré. “

This is confirmed by Guy Trédaniel, their editor (Courrier du livre): “It was gradually taking shape. The Bogdanov brothers also wanted to share their knowledge with younger children and worked on comics for children. They planned to go even further in popularization. Starting from questions, like why can’t cows come down a staircase? We were still laughing about it three weeks ago. The script was almost finished. We had found a colourist and a model maker. In recent days, we had imagined dedicating this project to Grichka, if Igor recovered. Their loss is as immense as it is overwhelming. We’re all devastated. “
Damien Nougarede hopes that their different ideas will not end all in a box, in particular that of reviving the cult show “Temps X”, in a revised version. Three pilots of a few minutes had been shot at the start of the school year for a broadcast on C8. “About fifty episodes have been written, reveals the agent. They would have liked a well-intentioned person to use them to bring them to life in CG. “
