'End of Watch screening was breathtaking; audience response was INTENSE. Congrats to Jake, Michael, David Ayer. I'm proud to be part of it,' Kendrick tweeted tonight to her 288,000 followers.

In the incredible crime-drama from Training Day director David Ayer, Anna plays Janet, the brainy love interest for Jake Gyllenhaal's cop character.

While shooting the film about two young police officers marked for death by a notorious Mexican cartel, Anna found herself the unlikely subject of gossip tabloids when a picture of the two arm in arm surfaced last year.

She told iVillage the two were definitely not an item, adding that she had 'no idea how' her recently broken up Twilight costars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart 'stay sane with all that kind of attention.'

The hunky bearded stud also greeted fans and posed alongside his charismatic co-star and fellow cop character Michael Peña, 36.

The 31-year-old leading man opted out of wearing a tie with his black Prada suit and white dress shirt, while Peña wore a grey suit, white dress shirt, and a striped tie.

Not seen today was Anna's boyfriend of thee years, London-based director Edgar Wright, 38, whom she met during the production of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

'My parents got married late and they had kids late, so I never felt a social or cultural thing to be married or pregnant or a homeowner by a certain age,' Kendrick recently told The Independent of her relationship.

Last month, she wrapped the independent comedy, Drinking Buddies, in Chicago alongside Olivia Wilde and Ron Livingston.

Anna will warm up her singing pipes for the musical comedy Pitch Perfect coming out October 5, and she'll also star in next year's The Company You Keep alongside Robert Redford, Shia LaBeouf, Julie Christie, and Susan Sarandon.

The cast and crew of End of Watch, due out  September 21, also celebrated their cinematic baby at the Grey Goose Vodka soiree at Soho House Toronto.

It was obviously a borrowed gown that had to be returned to the designer. But the potential PR / marketing opportunity has backfired with this bad press. They should have hemmed it for her height.

I think Anna Kendrick is one of the funniest young actresses at the moment. I'm not a fan of twilight but she is amazing in Up In The Air and 50/50.
