It’s official. The Veronica Mars series is getting a movie. A television series about a modern day Nancy Drew, Veronica Mars has a rabid fanbase that jumped at the opportunity to fund a feature film for their beloved series through Kickstarter.
It all began with the creator of Veronica Mars, Rob Thomas, approaching Warner Bros. with the idea to have fans fund the production of a Veronica Mars film while Warner Bros. handles marketing and distribution costs. Thomas had already completed a script for the film and actress Kristen Bell had signed up for the project. However, the plan ultimately hinged on if there was enough fan interest in the movie. And there was.
The goal was to raise $2 million in 30 days on Kickstarter.com. That goal was met in less than a day, shattering Kickstarter records. As of now, March 16, the project has 53,131 backers and raised over $3,500,000. And there’s still 27 days left in the fundraiser.
If you’re a Veronica Mars fan and am chomping at the bit for a movie or just want more adventures for Veronica, check out the Kickstarter for the Veronica Mars Movie Project.
