The Cannes Film Festival revved up the glamour on Wednesday night with a buzzy red carpet for the midnight screening of ​the original "The Fast and the Furious" with star Vin Diesel, Reuters reported. 

Diesel, wearing ‌a black jacket with a racecar design "Fast Forever" - the next sequel in the series set for 2028 - in sequins on the back, went up and down the line ​of shouting fans who had gathered for hours at the ​carpet to pose for selfies.

He was joined on the carpet by ⁠Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez, who shot to fame with the ​2001 film about street racing that launched a franchise for Universal Pictures and ​spawned nine sequels and a spin-off, "Hobbs & Shaw."

To date, the franchise has made over $7 billion at the global box office, according to Reuters.
