Even with a war going on in nearby Ukraine, movie stars and famous filmmakers are back in the southern French city of Cannes for the 75th anniversary of the film festival. The 11-day event started on Tuesday and continues until May 28. It was canceled in 2020. And it was held last year in July under pandemic-related restrictions. This year, the parties are back, and two big movies will be shown, one with Tom Cruise and another with Tom Hanks. Cruise is back in Cannes for the showing of his movie Top Gun Maverick based on the 1980s film, Top Gun. And Tom Hanks is in a movie about the life of singer Elvis Presley. The Presley film was directed by Australian Baz Luhrmann, who is known for Romeo and Juliet and The Great Gatsby along with Moulin Rouge and Australia. And director David Cronenberg returns with Crimes of the Future starring Viggo Mortensen, Kristen Stewart and Lea Seydoux. Scott Roxborough leads European coverage for The Hollywood Reporter. He called the group of films “one of the best Cannes lineups in years.”
