Veronica Mars movie

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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!

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 :)

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.

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.
