The Cannes Film Festival revved up its engines Wednesday evening with a screening of the 2001 blockbuster that launched the Fast and Furious franchise – a tribute to Hollywood despite a notable absence of large studios this year. Meanwhile, the main competition got started with films from Japan and France.
The Fast and the Furious co-stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster soaked up applause at a special cast reunion at Cannes on the 25th anniversary of the original street-racing movie.
