Veronica Mars Movie! Veronica Mars Movie!
Today Rob Thomas (creator) and Kristen Bell (star) of Veronica Mars launched the Veronica Mars movie Kickstarter page. Their goal was to raise $2 million in the next 30 days. If they could get that, then Warner Brothers would let them make a movie.
Here's the video they filmed to promote the project:
There's lot of cool incentives, everything from a copy of the script for $10 to a walk-on role in the movie for $10,000.
Apparently it worked:
Within less than five hours, they had $1 million. By the time I got home from work it was over $2 million.
I went for the $50 level myself: digital copy of the script, digital copy of the movie, t-shirt, and DVD of the the movie that will include extras.
I spent that $50 for three reasons:
1) I really want more Veronica Mars.
2) If you figure $20 for the DVD, $15 for the t-shirt, $10 for the digital copy of the movie, and $5 for the script, that's $50 right there. So I don't feel like I'm over-spending for what I'm going to get.
3) I've had two other cancelled-too-soon shows get new life from fan campaigns (the Farscape mini-series and the Firefly movie) and I didn't do anything to help those projects. I've always felt vaguely guilty about that. Now it's my turn to help, for one of my absolute favorite TV shows.
