 CANNES, France (AP) - Broadway invaded the Cannes Film Festival on Friday with a preview of the movie musical "Dreamgirls," with stars Jamie Foxx and Beyonce Knowles on hand to help show off scenes from the stage adaptation.
Director Bill Condon ("Gods and Monsters") introduced about 20 minutes of footage to reporters and movie professionals, including rollicking musical numbers from the saga of a 1960s girl group that rises to superstardom.
Condon said he initially was uncomfortable with the idea of unveiling footage at the prestigious film festival until he recalled the Cannes tradition of showcasing great musicals.
