Ritter Ready For "Mars" Return

Krysten Ritter is officially going to be reprising her role as Gia Goodman in the upcoming "Veronica Mars" movie  The actress announced the news Friday afternoon via Twitter. Ritter played Gia for eight episodes from 2005-06.


Star Kristen Bell Jason Dohring as Logan Echolls. Chris Lowell as Veronica’s ex Stosh Piznarski and  Percy Daggs III, who played Veronica's best bud Wallace Fennel Francis Capra and Christine Lakin will reprise their roles of Eli "Weevil" Navarro and Susan Knight respectively and Tina Majorino has signed on to reprise her role as Cindy “Mac” Mackenzie as well.

The highly successful "Veronica Mars" Kickstarter movie push got the ball rolling with series creator Rob Thomas receiving a total of $5.7 million from 91,585 backers - almost three times their original goal.

Thomas writes the script and will direct the feature-- "Life has taken Veronica away from Neptune. In the years since spoiling Keith's chances to be reelected sheriff, Veronica hasn't taken a case. But something big is about to bring her back home and back to her calling - which just happens to be around her ten year high school reunion."

"The movie is outlined, but frankly, I needed to know how we were doing to figure out how to model the script and how to write it. There are very specific things that are going to be affected by what our budget is," Thomas told The Hollywood Reporter in mid-March.

Filming begins next week and gets distribution via Warner Bros. A Comic-Con panel for the pic is also expected to happen in July.
