It’s sounding more and more likely that a “Veronica Mars” movie might actually happen and I think it’s got to do a lot to do with who the producer on the thing is, Joel Silver. Silver can pretty much snap his fingers and have Warner Bros lick his boots if he’d wanted them to – and you’ll have noticed how shiny his shoes are.
Silver loved the show. He was a huge fan of it – and Kristen Bell (read into that what you will). I’m sure he’s one of the driving forces that’s helped inch the movie forward.
So what do we know? Well, we know Rob Thomas is writing it. We know Kristen Bell has committed to starring in it. And we know Silver is dead-keen to roar at the WB when they turn the project down.
Michael Ausiello reported this week that the film wouldn’t take it’s cue from the unsuccessful season 4 pilot pitch that saw Mars joining the FBI. Instead, it’ll be set not-too-long after the events of Season 3 – with the cutesy tweenage investigator in university.
“The FBI scenario was more of a ‘What if…?’ aimed at getting us a fourth season [before the show was canceled],” Mars boss Rob Thomas tells Ausiello.”I would want to bring back our key players, and it would be tough to believe that the FBI stationed Veronica in Neptune.”
I, for one, would love to see a “Veronica Mars” movie. So much spunk there.
