Head explosion coming in one...two...three...
There might be a Veronica Mars movie in the works! Well, it's still way too far off to really tell, but the rumor will not die.
According to EW.com's Michael Ausiello, actress Kristen Bell, who played the plucky titular detective, and series creator Rob Thomas had a last-second meeting to discuss the possibilities of fulfilling the dreams of the many Mars addicts out there--that is, throwing Veronica Mars onto the big screen.
"Kristen and I ran into each other, and we did discuss a Veronica movie," Thomas tells EW.com. "It's very tough to focus on it right now with two pilots on my plate. But as soon as I have any free time, that's my top priority."
Thomas is currently working with ABC on a remake of his 1998 series Cupid and an Americanized adaptation of the New Zealand comedy Outrageous Fortune called Good Behavior. He was also slated to run the show over at 90210, but bailed when his hands got full.
Talk of a Veronica Mars movie has been yakking away for about a billion years now (or more specifically, since the show was canceled last year), but hearing the two main ingredients of such a project actually discussing the possibility is fantastic news for fans.
As for what the movie would actually be about, that's anyone's guess. Thomas did have big plans for the aborted fourth season of Veronica, even pitching studio execs with a trailer for season numero quatro. The idea had the Mars universe fast-forwarding a few years into the future, with Veronica at the FBI academy. Said trailer was included in the third-season DVD box set, and anyone who saw it can back me up--it totally rules, and it's a shame grown-up Veronica never saw her way to the tube.
Once you are done screaming, feel free to prognosticate about what a Veronica Mars movie would be like in the comments section below!

oh let der be a season 4 of veronica mars and a movie dat wud totally rock loves her y did day pull the pluge it is such a gud programe and shud b lil bit longer bring bk veronica mars plz plz
I’m still hoping that it’s all been a big mistake to pull the plug on VM and that they realize is one of these days but a movie is great too, at least then a ending could be made and the that stupid seasons finale which was good I’ve there would me another season, I do like the FBI idea because she’s good in fighting crime but I want the other characters to have a part as well and maybe Logan and Veronica can end up together. .
Hey fellow fans, already signed the petition to get this movie made?http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?vmmoviewould be soooo great!
I have been dreaming for this article for the longest of times. Ever since it was canceled, I have been waiting for some kind of bring-up like a movie which would be great! I would have been fine with a one-hour special, but a two-hour movie is fantastic!
We must keep the hope alive! the only way this movie will be made (and made well) is if we show them there is a market for it. They must see that there is a demand to fulfill. If the movie is well done I will see it more than once, that's a promise!
I love Veronica Mars.I hope the rumors are true.
It would make my day if a VM movie comes out. The show ended with quite a few loose threads, and it would be great so see them wrap it up properly in a movie. Fingers crossed!!
Hope it comes true.
I vote for a movie. The CW would feel the full force of the fans' wrath in the box office of the movie's premiere. More people have caught on since the show ended, I think, and are very upset at the abrupt ending.
It was a good show, maybe a movie would work.
pleaseeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
we need an ending!! because "the *** is back" was an awesome season finale but it was bad as a series finale
i miss so much veronica mars
I HATE THE CW :)
A movie?! Please please, let it be true..!
this would make my year if it happened! Im too scared to be too happy about though, just incase it doesn't happen....
soo it would be awesome for a movie...really hope they do it!!
I would definitely watch the movie!
Seriously, VM ended undone.
Veronica seemed so messed up. Piz was annoying me to the bone. No offence to his fans and the actor. It's just the character.
And Logan being alone and Not with Veronica seemed so wrong.
A movie would do great to us VM fans :)
that would be AWESOME!!!
omg i think i would flip out if there was a movie. the last season just wasnt enough.
Cool, miss the shows! That would be so cool!
Sweet
OH GOD THIS IS A GREAT NEWS EVER!! I LOVE THE SHOW SO MUCH
OMG, head spinning, about to explode....My girl on the big screen!Is it Christmas already?
that would be so amazingly awesome
AWESOME NEWS! Now let's make it happen!
OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! i would luv it and the season 4 trailer did rock!! very good it was grown up but kept it Veronica style!!! i dont care (well yes i do) what its about as long as its the orignal cast and writers...cause i trust they wont let me down!!
Best news ever! If... it happens.
I am in awe with this news!! I would seriously be THE FIRST person in line for that movie's release!! But I already have pretty high expctations for it, so the ONE THING the movie should have is alot of action!! Kristen needs to literally KICK A.. if she's to impress me! There needs to be some kind of Charlie's Angles/DOA style combat for sure!
Another thing I have had on my mind lately is the actual series....! The way Rob presented it's Fourth Year was fantastic and I dont think he even knows it! - or does he? :) Instead of 'Veronica Mars' FASTFORWARDING a few years and having a years elapse in just a few months, V. can actually return after a few years (say 5 for example) when she has ACTUALLY grown up those 5 years..... She'd actually be older, more mature and she would have a more 'adult' take on the role.
Wouldnt that be the best idea ever? Bring Enrico and Percy back too coz then it'd SUUUUCK!! If remade correctly I think it could return again. And not on the CW, they never deserved VM in the first place. CBS maybe, NBC or ABC, with any luck!
AND DO NOTEVEN THINK ABOUT CALLING IT A SPIN-OFF!! That's a frikkin death sentence! Call it, a 'continuation' of what was - but a few years later. OMG im getting light headed!! lol
By the way guys, it isnt a rumour. They actually spoke!! That's as good as its going to get for the time being coz its true; Rob has got a full plate right now and Bell needs to focus on Elle. She should be in the full 3rd season of heroes not just a 'stint', Bell is worth so much more than a bloody stint! Plus more chance she gets a box office hit out of Mars if she's (one of) the (many) star(s) of the hot at that time! This is all marketing, and its very easy - why doesnt hollywood use it? ...correctly! ...makes me sad. LOL.
Thanks for readingmoreless
Hazzah!!!!
Best news today!!!
I'll def. see the movie! Twice! No, that's not enough... More than twice!!! WOOT!!!
I would donate a kidney to watch this movie get made. However, article writer, you've gotta be kidding about the season 4 preview--it sucked! A movie without Logan, Keith, Mac, and Weevil isn't worth making!
it's about freakin time they done something about v mars , I hated how they left things so this would give the show proper closure
I'd love to see more VM but i don't think it would be good movie material...
I soo hope they make a movie. It would be so nice and a great closure for everybody. I mean it's not as if it would flop or anything, right?
Never watched the TV series but I suppose a movie would be nice closure for fans.
I hope they make it into a movie. I love Veronica Mars!
OMG I hope they really are goning to make a V.M movie, it will be a real ending to the show, can only say OMG!!!
It's about freakin time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes!!!! finaly they can decide!
Finally a good news, hope it will be done not just talking
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!
OMFG!
Best News EVER!
A Veronica Mars movie would be simply AMAZING:)!
I would wet my pants, kristen bell is so hott and veronica mars was one of my favorite shows of ALL time. Please do something, ANYTHING to bring this back.
Please please please be true!!!!! I don't want to get my hopes up and have the plans fall through. VM one of the best shows ever. Yet to see the trailer - still waiting on the dvd release in Aus.
Yay. But the season four preivew sucked. :P
Oh please be more than a rumour :D This has pretty much made my day!I have to disagree about the FBI pitch though... didn't love it! I want the movie to take place in Veronica's Sophomore year at Hearst :)
omg!! this is so freakin awesome!!!
maybe now they'll ride the space elevator!
OMG !!! I am so looking forward to this...I have still 2 seasons to watch on dvd but already addicted..love Kristen Bell. But I wont celebrate it yet..it may take years before it even releases in America, in Holland for that matter...and its still a rumor..
okay im trying not to get too exicted but
one word.
YAY : Dx
OMG! :D
Don't get me wrong. This is great news. But I won't get my hopes up just yet. I would rather it be in Neptune following her as a grown up PI instead, with aldl the characters we love so much! And make it a TV movie. Its safe from any tampering then.
