Recommended Posts

No offense to Mars Investigations? canine mascot, but Veronica Mars fans on Wednesday provided the real backup, pledging ? in just over 10 hours, and with an average donation of $63 ? the $2 million necessary to start production on a film version of the defunct CW series.

Now that the project is officially a go, here are a few plot suggestions we wouldn?t mind seeing play out on the big screen. A LoVe reunion? Deputy Leo? Wallace? We?ve included it all.

It's a Go!

The Wrap is reporting Warner Bros. has indeed given the green light to the Veronica Mars movie after fans successfully demonstrated their interest in getting the film off the ground. According to the report:

?The film?s production budget will come entirely from the money it raised on Kickstarter and won?t include any additional funding from the studio, the individual told TheWrap. Warner Bros. Digital Distribution will shoulder the cost of distributing the film and marketing it to the ?Veronica Mars? faithful.?

Awesome news! Can't wait to see it. :D

Now, can they do this with Firefly too?

i believe they already made a Firefly movie?

Yeah as much as I would love to see more Firefly, I think it's had the movie and that's that, not against Graphic Novels though

As if there was ever any doubt: Jason Dohring is officially on board for the Veronica Mars movie.

Dohring, whose casting was announced by series creator Rob Thomas, is the third actor to sign on to the project, joining star Kristen Bell and the deep-pocketed supporter who scored the role of the waiter who says, ?Your check, sir.?

Deputy Leo is ready to report for duty!

With the Veronica Mars movie officially happening, Marshmallows have been dying to know which of their favorite characters will be returning to Neptune when the film hits theaters in early 2014. One familiar face who will definitely be coming back to banter with Veronica (Kristen Bell)? New Girl star Max Greenfield as lovable Deputy Leo!

Veronica Mars? P.I. pop is officially on board for his daughter?s big-screen debut.

Enrico Colantoni will reprise the role of Keith Mars when the movie based on the fan-favorite CW series begins shooting this summer.

The Rob Thomas-driven project announced the casting ? which was hinted at with the actor?s appearance in the fan-funded project?s launch video in March ? via Twitter Thursday.

Veronica Mars Movie Adds Piz

Piz is in, too!

Chris Lowell is the latest Veronica Mars vet to officially join the forthcoming fan-funded film adaptation, exec producer Rob Thomas announced on Saturday.

Lowell?s mop-topped alter ego arrived on the scene in the show?s third season and soon developed a crush on (and began a romance with) the show?s titular sleuth.

UPDATE: Appearing at the ATX Television Festival on Saturday, Thomas said that beyond Lowell, Percy Daggs III and other already confirmed encores, ?We actually have a bunch of cast deals done, but we?re trying to parse them out? We want to give everyone their own moment.? (As such, keep tabs on TVLine as more additions are trumpeted over the next 10 days.)

Veronica?s gal pal Mac is a character Thomas said it would be odd not to see in the movie, but he stopped short of confirming Tina Majorino?s casting.

Alas, with the ensemble growing and the budget finite, as the film nears production later this month, there?s already been one (minor) casualty. Thomas shared at ATX that opening scenes were already over-budget, so rain during a flight Veronica is on had to be cut. ?So, as you see her land and come out of the Balboa County Airport, imagine rain,? he laughed.

Speaking further on the film?s prospects, Thomas said, ?It?s not going to be Hunger Games, but I?m excited about the scope. It?s at the top-end of what my expectations would have been.? That said, when it comes to a fight that breaks out at ?Ron?s high school reunion, he quipped: ?Please don?t expect a Matrix-level brawl.?

Neptune High?s big class reunion just got a little more complete.

Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas announced late last night that Tina Majorino has officially signed on to reprise her role as hacker extraordinaire Cindy ?Mac? Mackenzie in his upcoming Mars film. Non-Mars fans may know the actress best as Deb, the title character?s side ponytail-favoring friend in 2004?s Napoleon Dynamite.

?To say I wrote Mac with Tina in mind would be an understatement,? Thomas said in an email sent to the film?s 91,585 Kickstarter backers. ?I wrote Mac for Tina, and Tina only. Veronica needed a female friend, and a Q to her Bond. Tina felt like just the sort of girl that Veronica would like and respect. I couldn?t be more pleased that she?ll be with us for the movie.?

Majorino, who?s currently playing medical intern Heather Brooks on Grey?s Anatomy, joins a cast that already includes repeat players Kristen Bell (Veronica), Jason Dohring (Logan Echolls), Enrico Colantoni (Keith Mars), Percy Daggs III (Wallace Fennel), Chris Lowell (Stosh ?Piz? Piznarski), Francis Capra (Eli ?Weevil? Navarro?), Sam Huntington (Luke), Amanda Noret (Madison Sinclair), and Daran Norris (Cliff McCormack). Production on the film is scheduled to begin this summer.

Krysten Ritter is set to reprise her role as Gia Goodman in the upcoming Veronica Mars feature film. The actress confirmed the news today via her WhoSay account with the following message:

G-G-G-Gia!!!! I'm thrilled to be reprising my role of Gia Goodman in the Veronica Mars movie!!! It's gonna be very juicy. Veronica Mars has a special place in my heart because it was my first big acting job (!!!!!!) and it was also one of the most lovely on-set experiences you could ever ask for. This will truly be an awesome shoot, not only because we all get to be reunited (can't WAIT!) but because of the revolutionary way this all was able to come to life! Thank you, thank you, thank you to Rob Thomas, Kristen Bell, Kickstarter, and most of all, to you, our AMAZING FANS, for making it happen. I'm honored to be a part of it!

Ritter joins Kristen Bell, Jason Dohring, Christine Lakin, Enrico Colanton, Ryan Hansen and Tina Majorino in the Kickstarter-backed production, set to be written and directed by series creator Rob Thomas.

    • (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
