Crowdfund This: The ‘Veronica Mars’ Movie EDIT: It’s Funded!
This is absolutely mind-blowing.
Apparently there are a TON of Veronica Mars fans out there, because a just-launched Kickstarter campaign with a goal of $2 000 000 has just hit the 75% mark. According to the official Kickstarter twitter account, this project is the fastest to ever hit $1 million, reaching the milestone in just over four hours.
Wow. Veronica Mars (@robthomas @imkristenbell) reached $1m in 4 hours 24 minutes, a new Kickstarter record: vine.co/v/bdbP7vM2Y1E

Now, I’ve never exactly seen the show, so I’m not sure what all of the fuss is about, but there is obviously something very special about Rob Thomas’ creation. Veronica Mars premiered its three-season run in September of 2oo4 and instantly vaulted Kristen Bell into stardom.
Warner Bros. has given its blessing, Kristen Bell is in, and the fans clearly want it. With just under $500 000 to go and 30 days to do it, its pretty safe to say that we’ll be seeing Veronica again soon.
If you’re a fan, you’ll definitely want to head to the project’s Kickstarter page and check it out. A multitude of different incentives are available, including digital downloads of the completed film, DVD’s, and even a speaking role.
