HBO has unveiled the
first trailer for Bright Lights, an intimate and heartfelt look at the beautiful
bond between the late Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds. Part of
Hollywood royalty, the two sadly passed away late last month within a day of
each other.
The documentary was
scheduled to air later in the year, but due to the deaths of Fisher and
Reynolds, HBO has decided to air it this week on January 7.
BRIGHT LIGHTS:
STARRING CARRIE FISHER AND DEBBIE REYNOLDS is an intimate portrait of Hollywood
royalty, in all its eccentricity. At 83 years old, grand dame Debbie Reynolds
(star of “Singing in the Rain,”) still performs a Las Vegas act, dressed in
gold lamé. But performing takes its toll, and Debbie’s health suffers. This
devastates her daughter, “Star Wars” actress Carrie Fisher, whose response is
both hilarious and heart-rending. Carrie is helpless in the face of her
mother’s determination that “the show must go on.”
Through vintage family films,
iconic old-world Hollywood history comes to life. Rich cinema verité also takes
us to into the heart of Beverly Hills today, where Carrie and Debbie live
together. This is a film about show business, and bittersweet family love.
