Anna Kendrick was 'pissed' at Jake Gyllenhaal for dropping out of 'Into the Woods'

Anna Kendrick is starring in the upcoming film Into the Woods and she admitted that she was angry with Jake Gyllenhaal for dropping out of the film to pursue another opportunity.

Kendrick is known for being a completely honest person, even towards actor Jake Gyllenhaal. She confronted the actor when she learned that he dropped out of the film, Into the Woods, which she stars in as Cinderella. "I was so pissed at Jake, let me tell you. I texted him and said, 'You're abandoning me, and I'm never going to forgive you,” she told The Daily Beast in an interview. She added, “But Billy [Magnussen] is really fantastic.” He is playing Rapunzel’s suitor in the film, which was reportedly going to be played by Gyllenhaal.

Instead, Gyllenhaal decided to star in the thriller Nightcrawler which was released at the end of October. Kendrick confessed in the interview that she eventually accepted Gyllenhaal’s decision to skip out on being her co-star. "I saw the trailer to Nightcrawler and texted him again and said, 'Wow, you inspire me every day,'” she admitted.

The movie, Into the Woods opens on Christmas Day which also stars Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, Chris Pine, Emily Blunt, and James Corden.
