Tom Hanks Through the Years: From ‘Forrest Gump’ to ‘Elvis’ and Beyond

Stars are getting ready to walk the Croisette.

In total, Cannes Film Festival General Delegate Thierry Frémaux today announced 52 titles that will debut at the 76th edition which runs May 16-27 on the Riviera, and which he dedicated to the late producer and Telluride co-founder Tom Luddy.
