Restorations and revivals offer higher odds of great films, leading to a midnight Cannes screening of The Fast and the Furious for its 25th anniversary.
There will be no Tom Cruise reveling in lowlevel flyovers along the beach at La Croisette by the French Air Force's aerobatic team, as happened at the 2022 premiere of Top Gun: Maverick. Harrison Ford or a similar star will not climb the steps of the Palais des Festivals to the beat of an iconic theme, as he did in 2023 when bidding farewell to the whipcracking archaeologist in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. There will be no screenings of major animated films from Pixar, Disney, or Universal.
