(Cover) - EN Movies - Kate Hudson has joined the cast of Zach Braff’s Wish I Was Here.

Almost 40,000 people willing to donate to the creative cause made the flick possible, forking up the huge figure in 26 days and with only four days left of the deadline to go.

The entire film is expected to cost $5 million and Worldview Entertainment recently agreed to bridge the gap for funds.

Wild Bunch is taking care of international sales for the movie at the Cannes International Film Festival and the Creative Artists Agency will represent rights in the United States.

Director Zach will use a screenplay written with his brother Adam to create the motion picture. Stacey Sher and Michael Shamberg will produce Wish I Was Here through their company Double Feature Films.
