WESTWOOD, Calif., June 18, 2001 — It was another night of Young Hollywood heaven, as the stars of The Fast and the Furious celebrated the film’s premiere at Westwood’s Mann Bruin Theatre Monday night.
Eschewing the race cars and motorcycles from the movie and pulling up in traditional limousines and town cars, the stars greeted screaming youngsters, signed posters and shook as many hands as possible. The film’s cast includes Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez and Rick Yune.
The Fast and the Furious follows an undercover cop (Walker) who infiltrates the world of street racing to nab the culprit of a big-rig hijacking ring. In the process he befriends a charismatic racer named Dom (Diesel) and sparks up a romance with Dom’s sister, Mia (Brewster).
The film opens June 22.
