Michelle Rodriguez and Vin Diesel Will Attend The Fast And Furious Screening At The Cannes Film Festival
To celebrate its 25th anniversary, some cast members will also attend the screening. All of this is on the tail of Universal Pictures’ new chapter—Fast Forever that will hit theatres on March 17, 2028…
All things fast and furious will be taking over the 79th Cannes Film Festival, when a special screening for the original film in the Fast And Furious franchise will hit the Croisette on May 13th at 11:34pm in the Grand Théâtre Lumière.
The high-octane thriller is set amid the street-racing culture of Los Angeles. The film—produced by Neal H. Mortiz, directed by Rob Cohen, and starring Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, Paul Walker as Brian O’Conner, Jordana Brewster as Mia and Michelle Rodriguez as Letty—would become a cinema-changing global sensation.
Attending the screening will be Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, and producer Neal H. Mortiz, and Meadow Walker, the daughter of the film’s late star Paul Walker.
Over the course of eleven films that have stoked passion in an ever-expanding audience and have earned more than $7 billion U.S. at the worldwide box office, Universal’s record-smashing, homegrown Fast & Furious Saga has become the studio’s most-profitable and longest-running franchise. Featuring one the most thrilling and diverse casts of any major studio film series, the films’ core actors include Tyrese Gibson as Roman, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges as Tej, Sung Kang as Han, and Nathalie Emmanuel as Ramsey.
Originally focused on street racing competitions, the franchise has continuously reinvented itself, featuring 25 years of mind-blowing, turbocharged car chases and increasingly insane stunts in exotic locations across the globe. Above all, the film series has endured and thrived because of the deep, familial bond between these unforgettable characters, and the connection between those characters and a devoted global audience of fans.
Over the decades, the cast has expanded to include some of the most famous and acclaimed actors of their time, including Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, Jason Statham, Eva Mendes, John Cena, Kurt Russell, Jason Momoa, and Academy Award® winners Helen Mirren, Brie Larson and Charlize Theron.
Reaching beyond cinema, The Fast Saga has become a true pop-culture phenomenon. Its longevity has spawned an ever-expanding universe including toys, video games, an animated series and the hit spin-off title Hobbs & Shaw.
