Prepare To Cry Buckets During HBO’s Documentary About Carrie Fisher And Debbie Reynolds
They just released a trailer and no, you're crying.
Grab your handkerchiefs, film lovers. HBO has just dropped the trailer for their upcoming documentary about Hollywood screen icons Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher.
Titled Bright Lights, the film is set to air on HBO on January 7, and will serve as a fitting eulogy for the mother/daughter duo after they passed away within a day of each other at the tail end of last year.
The documentary, which screened at the Cannes Film Festival last May, reportedly offers a heartwarming look at the relationship between the two actors, who lived next door to one another in Los Angeles.
“[Fisher and Reynolds] were supremely kind human beings, and unusually perceptive,” said directors Fisher Stevens and Alexis Bloom in a joint statement. “When either one entered a room, the energy changed. Quite simply, we were iron filings to their magnets. And never more so than when they were together.
“These women were more than mother and daughter, they were an expression of exquisite humanity in all its travail and triumph. They lived their days boldly. They sung every song worth singing (often together.) Carrie and Debbie loved each other profoundly. We are devastated they’re gone. And so very fortunate to have known them at all.”
