Topic: Movie? - Woohoo!

Rob Thomas Confirms 'Veronica Mars' Movie!
by Jessica Barnes

When it comes to Veronica Mars, I know fans have some pretty strong feelings about the possibility of their beloved TV show getting the big-screen treatment -- but it looks like fans are going to have to get used to the idea. iF Magazine recently spoke with Mars creator, Rob Thomas and he told them that the unexpected scale-back of his current series Cupid has freed up plenty of time to get to work on the feature film version of the teen sleuth, and that it looks like a feature film will be gearing up for production.

For those of you who might have missed Veronica's short run on TV, here is a little primer: Mars (as played by Kristen Bell) was a high school student/private investigator who each week would take on a different small town mystery. Once described as "a little bit Buffy, and a little bit Bogart", Mars would solve crimes all the while dealing with the blow back from being abandoned by the popular crowd, and some serious personal issues. The show was beloved by fans, and even though it only lasted three seasons, it hasn't stopped fans from being awfully protective of their blond P.I.

So you might be wondering; what exactly does Thomas have planned for Ms. Mars on the big screen? According to Thomas, the script is, "...it's 70 percent broken in my head, I've been struggling with this one plot point and I'm hopeful to figure that out....I'm feeling like I'm on the right track now. But I don't want to give that away yet." The one thing Thomas did confirm was that fans shouldn't get too hung up on the idea of Veronica ending up as a G-Woman. Thomas told iF," it would open just days before her college graduation, so Veronica would be just at the end of her college career."

So now that Thomas has a little free time and cash (courtesy of producer, Joel Silver) to bring Veronica to the big screen, it sounds like a done deal (whether we like it our not). I'm just curious to find out if Thomas can satisfy Veronica's hard core fans. Sound off below....

Was this just a tease, or is there any more information on it?

Enrico Colantoni Talks About New 'Flashpoint,' 'Veronica Mars' Film
by Chris Harnick, posted Jun 4th 2010 10:00AM

......Colantoni spoke with TV Squad about what's in store for his character Sgt. Gregory Parker, his favorite projects, interacting with 'Veronica Mars' fans and his hopes for a 'Mars' feature film......


I spoke with 'Veronica Mars' creator Rob Thomas a couple of months ago and he said he still wants to do a 'Veronica Mars' movie.
I hope he does.

But, Joel Silver [an executive producer on 'Mars'] came out a few days ago and said there's no way it's going to happen. What's your stance on this? Would you do it? What do you think?
Of course I would do it. I would want it to happen, it just seems like -- I don't know, maybe Joel crunched some numbers, but it seemed like he was interested a year and half ago. I don't understand what changed in the business, or maybe that's just it, the business changed. Maybe putting $20 million into a four million-viewer show on television isn't worth the gamble? I think it would make an outstanding movie. I know Rob had some great ideas.

Re: Movie? - Woohoo!

Just that a show is over doesn't mean that a movie couldn't be awesome.

Actually I'm glad that VM the show is over. It reached a point were it just had to become corny. But a movie - maybe at a collage location - would be awesome.

Well it's up to the producers who have to get the money from somewhere...

Re: Movie? - Woohoo!

oh i thought we were talking about the porn parody, Veronica Arse. I sure hope they find better writers if they make a real one though. But the plot should stay roughly the same.

Re: Movie? - Woohoo!

Rob Thomas wrote a pitch for a Veronica Mars movie and presented to ti WB, but they passed on it. I recently saw an interview with Joel Silver where he basically said the movie is dead, because WB did the due diligence, they did their market research, looked at how the DVDs were selling and at the end of it all decided there isn't enough demand for a feature film. So unless everybody settles for a TV movie (and even that seems like a long shot), that was it for vroni sad

That's sad. Seems that we are doomed to watch stupid bimbos whose only problem are which lip-gloss to wear and who kissed whom. I really loved that they made a young female character that was smart and strong. She was someone I could be inspired by. And now I have to choose between Serena (Gossip Girl) or Naomi (90210).

Annie and Liam Fan Site. We need fanartists and fan fiction writers.

Lol 2mil+ in 1 day.

I wonder how many other franchises with huge fan base will start doing that now.

It'd be great.

How long does it take for that pesky little browncoated bug to get it's own Kickstarter page and get the money for something that the fanbase can again drool on...

...where did I put that rat's ass I could give?

Even longer ago now.!
While I did enjoy the show, I don't have the time to watch it all again just to watch a 1.5hour movie that will be mediocre.

How do you know it will be mediocre? The actors from the show aren't doing this for the money so it's not like most of the funds will be spent on their salaries. Besides Veronica Mars was a terrific show from the start right to the very end.

PS. They probably didn't expect such popularity, because almost all rewards for spending more than $1000 were almost immediately reserved. big_smile

Re: Movie? - Woohoo!

2 Million for an entire movie? That sounds like a budget for a tv episode nowadays.

Oh well maybe the cast works for free.
