Today in show business: Zach Braff's Kickstarter movie just got some real funding, two non-singers are joining the Into the Woods cast, and Bradley Cooper is headed to the kitchen.

News comes today from Cannes that Zach Braff has found financing for his new movie, Wish I Was Here. "Wait... what?" you may ask, "Didn't his film already get its financing from the Kickstarter campaign I donated to?" Well, yes, the $2.6 million that Kickstarter contributors gave to Braff helped, but Worldview Entertainment, a film financing company — you know, the one that will make a profit if the movie makes a profit — has chipped in the rest. The film is budgeted at under $10 million. (Garden State was made for $2.5 million.) Oh, and, there's this: "With Worldview on board, a small percentage of the money raised will be returned in the form of a fee to Kickstarter, according to insiders." Not returned to the people who gave it, of course, but to Kickstarter. So lots of people who love Zach Braff movies basically just gave their money to Kickstarter and saved a couple mil for Worldview Entertainment. Kickstarter normally charges a fee on successful campaigns, and of course movie financing is complicated and none of this is all that surprising, but it does shed some light on the fact that the whole crowdfunding thing isn't exactly as pure speaking-power-to-art process as it's sometimes represented to be. Anyway, I know Kickstarter sour grapes are getting boring, but this seemed worth mentioning. Carry on, Braffians. [The Hollywood Reporter]

Oh, one more thing about the Zach Braff movie? Josh Gad has joined the cast. You made that happen! Well done, you. [Deadline]

Hm. More Into the Woods casting news. It seems that Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Pine, neither exactly known for their singing, might be joining the cast, playing the two princes who sing "Agony" together. I don't know. Whatever. I'm done being upset that this movie is happening. Those aren't huge parts, so it's not that big of a deal. They probably can't sing, but what can you do? This is the world, folks. And the fact is we have very little control over anything, even parts of our own lives, so why get mad about the annoying celebrity casting of Into the Woods. Who cares. Just so long as they don't cast Anne Hathaway as the Baker's Wife. Please don't do that, Rob Marshall. Then something might have to be done. [The Hollywood Reporter]
