The bond between Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds was so strong. Now you can see their relationship on the screen in Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds.
The movie description reads: “story of the family’s complicated love,” and promises “an intimate portrait of Hollywood royalty in all its eccentricity.”
In the almost two-minute trailer it shows just that. Carrie and Debbie share some very sweet moments.
Directed by Alexis Bloom and Fisher Stevens, the 95-minute documentary was filmed in over more than a year in 2014 and 2015 leading up to Reynolds preparing to receive her Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award — which Fisher presented to her.
Vintage family films and archival footage help bring the documentary to life. Their lives at home in the Beverly Hills compound they shared will be seen extensively in the documentary — as will be the way in which they navigated their careers and close relationship.
“We started out making a film about Hollywood royalty,” they added. “And we ended up making a film about love.”
In the clip Debbie says Carrie is her best friend. You can see that so much now. When Carrie went, Debbie couldn’t live without her.
Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds will debut Jan. 7 (at 8 p.m. EST) on HBO.
