Zach Braff has shared a new trailer for his forthcoming film Wish I Was Here, and it features a new song by The Shins.
Braff and The Shins clearly go way back, as he wrote the band’s “New Slang” into a scene of his first movie Garden State (pictured above). No word yet on the new song’s title, but it will be featured on a forthcoming soundtrack that also includes selections from Bon Iver, Cat Power and Coldplay.
Wish I Was Here will see a limited release on 18 July. Check out the new song/trailer below.
