For years there has been speculation about whether or not a movie of the brilliant teen detective show Veronica Mar will ever get made, with issues surrounding financial and studio backing. But know thanks to a brilliant idea, the film has got high hopes of being made. The film will be funded by fan donations, from everything between $1 to $10000 can be pledged to help raise the goal of $2,000,000 for the film to go a head. Their are different packages up for offer depending on how much you pledge, including signed merchandise DVD copy of the film and TV series and at the higher end of the scale includes walk on roles and speaking roles in the film.
I love the series and was gutted when they cancelled it but i am so happy with the fact that its getting chance to be made into the film. At last glance the pot was up to $700,000 with 30 days to go and hopefully they will reach the goal for it to be made.
If you never watched the series before check it out, it stars Kristen Bell as Veronica Mars as private investigator working in her high school and then college as she works to solve various mysteries. The TV show also stars Jason Dohring, Ryan Hansen, Enrico Colantoni, Percy Daggs III and Francis Capra. The series was created by Rob Thomas who is behind the idea to get the fans behind the project.
I really hope that the project gets enough money to get the film made.
Fingers Crossed!!
