There are just over 2 days left in the Veronica Mars movie kickstarter and it just passed $5 million. The project is 10k backers away from being the most backed project in kickstarter history. Help us reach this goal.
And in case you happen to be unfamiliar with Veronica Mars, it was a smart, witty, all around awesome TV show that was unjustly canceled 6 years ago. The first season of Veronica Mars is (IMO) probably one of the top 5 greatest seasons of a TV show ever.
And remember, others will be using this project as the guinea pig to set the benchmark and see if this method is viable, so the more successful this project is, the more likely other cult classics will get the kickstarter movie treatment (like Firefly, Freaks and Geeks, and others).
Really? Veronica Mars? 5 million dollars? Wow.

I really dig the enthusiasm. However, to praise Veronica Mars the way you have I have to question your television experience. Good luck; Enjoy the movie.
Respectfully disagree with you and agree 100% with the original poster. Veronica Mars was a great show and Kristen Bell is a fantastic actress. The amount of money raised for this movie is a reflection of that, not to mention the large number of fans the show has.
I'm thrilled to see how well the Kickstarter is doing and even more thrilled that the movie will be made!
The show was cool, but the gimmick (high school girl is private eye) is pretty far gone now. Kirsten is 32 now, so unless they really go full-tilt with the Dawson's casting, it's not gonna be the same.
The timeline for the movie will take place during the characters 10 year high school reunion. Veronica hasn't worked a case in years and has recently graduated from Columbia Law School. Something (not the reunion) will drag her back to Neptune and into her former life that she has distanced herself with.
I really dig the enthusiasm. However, to praise Veronica Mars the way you have I have to question your television experience. Good luck; Enjoy the movie.
List of current shows I watch: Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Suits, Mad Men, Pysch, Community, HIMYM, Happy Endings, Revolution, Vikings, True Blood, Revenge, Once Upon a Time, The League, Supernatural, Downton Abbey, and Doctor Who. Take that how you will. ;)
Marc, thanks for the support and recognizing the awesomeness of VM.
