Zach Braff joins the Kickstarter club, turns to fans to finance next film

NEW YORK -- Since directing "Garden State," Zach Braff has continually prepared music in an iTunes playlist titled, "For Next Movie." Nine years and hundreds of saved songs later, Braff hopes he's finally making his follow-up to "Garden State" -- if his fans can help.

Today (April 26), in the wake of the enormously successful "Veronica Mars" Kickstarter campaign , the "Scrubs" star launched a crowd-funding campaign to make his next movie. For the next 30 days, he'll try to raise $2 million on Kickstarter for "Wish I Was Here," a film he co-wrote with his brother Adam.

Braff's movie is the most notable Kickstarter film project since "Veronica Mars" creator Rob Thomas sent shock waves through Hollywood by turning to fans to resurrect his long-canceled, cultishly adored private eye TV series. While Kickstarter has for years been a helpful source of financing for small independent films, "Veronica Mars" showed

LSU Question of the Day: How many Tigers taken in the NFL draft?

These are the glory years for LSU when it comes to the NFL draft--and, in general, too, with two of the school's three national titles in the last 10 seasons. The NFL's interest in LSU players goes to a whole new level, though.

Five LSU players have been top-5 NFL draft picks in the last six years: Patrick Peterson, Tyson Jackson, Glenn Dorsey, JaMarcus Russell, and LaRon Landry.

That's happened just five other times total in LSU history : Bert Jones (1973), Jerry Stovall (1963), Billy Cannon and Jerry Robinson (1960), and Steve Van Buren (1944). (Y.A. Tittle was a top-5 pick in 1951, but he'd already been playing pro football since 1948 in the old AAFC.)

Plus, at least five LSU players have been selected in the seven-round draft each year since 2006. There's no comparable such streak in school history. 

Today's question: How many players will be chosen
