lennyann 3 Report post Posted March 14, 2013 Wasn't sure if I should post this in TV or movies... I probably chose the wrong place. Regardless, I'm so excited! Funds are being raised on Kickstarter for the "Veronica Mars" movie. The total they are trying to raise is $2 million, and as of now are up to $1.8 million. From TVLine: After nearly six years of wishing, hoping and dreaming, Veronica Mars fans can take one final, big-screen trip back to Neptune — provided that everyone chips in to get a feature film follow-up made. As first reported by EW.com, series creator Rob Thomas and frontwoman Kristen Bell have launched a Kickstarter fundraising campaign that, if at least $2 million is collected by April 12, will guarantee the production and distribution of a Veronica Mars movie. “Kristen and I met with the Warner Bros. brass, and they agreed to allow us to take this shot. They were extremely cool about it, as a matter of fact,” Thomas says on the Kickstarter page. “Their reaction was, if you can show there’s enough fan interest to warrant a movie, we’re on board. “So this is it. This is our shot,” he stresses.”I believe it’s the only one we’ve got.” The way Kickstarter works, for the uninitiated: People pledge dollars toward the funding of a project. Depending on the pledge point, “rewards” are available. In this case, $10 gets you a PDF of the shooting script, $25 gets a T-shirt thrown in, with $35 you’ll also get a digital copy of the movie before its limited theatrical release, and so on. As Thomas notes, if just 80,000 of Mars‘ 3 million viewers chip in the most common Kickstarter pledge of $25, boom — LoVe is in the air! If $2 mil is raised by April 12– when Bell has a window available to film it — the movie happens. If the goal is not met in time, you are charged not a penny and we say goodbye to Neptune forever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,710 Report post Posted March 14, 2013 I actually have this show on DVD, but haven't gotten around to watching it yet. I'm so behind on my TV it isn't even funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dixiedoodah 1,003 Report post Posted March 14, 2013 It's my favorite show ever. And I was nowhere near the teen demographic when it came on. It's mildly embarrassing, but there you have it. They got well over two million in half a day, so it's a go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,710 Report post Posted March 14, 2013 I've heard it's awesome show, and Joss (creator of Buffy, another one of my fav shows) was a big fan too which is why I got it. I'm saving it for a home sick and feel like crap day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tyler 408 Report post Posted March 14, 2013 Listening to Kevin & Bean this morning on KROQ (LA), they indicated that they had raised the 2 million needed on the first day and were closing on 3 million. Looks like the movie will get made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dixiedoodah 1,003 Report post Posted July 25, 2019 Has anyone watched the new episodes? I got my teenager to binge the old show with me this summer. We finished the movie the day they announced that season 4 was dropping early. We finished that last night. Lots of controversy about it online but don’t want to spoil it for anyone who might still be watching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
