Braff's
new
movie
Wish
I
Was
Here
(WIWH)
after
the
latter
dropped
out
due
to
date
problems.
Kendrick
was
slated
to
star
in
Braff's
"Wish
I
Was
Here" with
actors
Kate
Hudson,

Patinkin,

In
an
email
to
the
movie's

sent
out
on

"Well,
since
you're
having
your
first
shot
as
being
(a)
movie
producer,
it's
time
you
experience
something
that
happens
a
lot:
Scheduling
conflicts," he
said
in
the
mail.
"We've
tried
our
hardest,
but
we've
been
unable
to
figure
out
the
lovely
Anna
Kendrick's
scheduling
conflicts
with
another
movie
she's
doing...
You
may
know
Ashley
from
Twilight.
I've
known
Ashley
for
a
couple
years
now
and
I'm
so
excited
she's
accepted
my
invitation
to
join
our
Kickstarter
Klub
(sic).
Zach
Braff
used
crowd-funding
website
kickstarter.com
to
raise
$3.1
million
in
donations
to
make
the
film,
which
is
a
sequel
to
his
2004
movie
Garden
State.
Talking
further
about
Ashley,
he
added,
"Not
only
is
Ashley
gorgeous
and
charming,
but
she
is
hilarious,
a
very
good
actress
and
normal
and
cool
and
we
are
so
lucky
to
have
her."
