‘The Fast and the Furious’ and Vin Diesel roll into Cannes for 25th anniversary

CANNES, France — The cast of “The Fast and the Furious” rolled into the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday for a 25th anniversary celebration of the nitrous-boosting franchise.

This year’s Cannes is largely bereft of Hollywood films . But to help cover the blockbuster-sized hole in this year’s lineup, the French festival is hosting a midnight screening of the first release in the 10-movie series.
