Forrest Gump star Hanks is starring in the latest project from director Anderson, who is behind the films Rushmore, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Fantastic Mr Fox.

The sci-fi homage is described as taking place in a fictional American desert town in 1955 where a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention becomes "spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events".

Black Widow star Johansson - who was at Cannes with her husband Colin Jost, a comedian who appears on Saturday Night Live - wore a pink dress with white straps.
