We'll take more Veronica any way we
can get her.
Cult-TV-to-film movies are becoming hot Hollywood topics as of late, with recent news of Arrested Development and Jericho films currently in the works. Now we can add one more to that list: Veronica Mars.
Fans of the CW drama were absolutely crushed when the network didn't renew the show in 2007, and talk immediately turned to giving the series a proper two-hour Cineplex sendoff. Now, creator Rob Thomas has divulged the first solid details of the project, which is closer than ever to becoming reality.
Speaking to reporters at the TCAs in Los Angeles, Thomas (on hand to promote his new ABC show Cupid) confirmed that he is writing a Veronica Mars movie, according to iFMagazine.com.
Thomas says he has the movie "70 percent" down in his head, and is struggling with one crucial plot point. However, he also feels he is "on the right track now" and will clear that hurdle soon enough.
The movie is not going to take place where Veronica Mars' would-be fourth season would have (Thomas made a presentation for network execs that proposed jumping forward in time to Veronica in the FBI). Instead, the movie is set to start just days before Veronica graduates from Hearst College.
As for the crew, Thomas has spoken to lead Kristen Bell, Jason Dohring, and Enrico Colantoni, and all are in favor of participating, particularly Bell.
So the creator is on board, the cast wants to return, and a story is almost solidly in place. Now comes the hard part: financing. But even that appears to be a shoo-in.
"[Veronica Mars executive producer] Joel Silver does have a certain pile of money,." Thomas told iF. "He called on me saying, 'Can we do this now?' Kristen wants to do it. Joel wants to do it and I want to do it. For me, that's the next project."
This looks good, Veronica Mars fans. This looks goooooood.
