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.
"Sadly, Leighton was doing a different movie during the same time frame on the wrong coast. In the end, she was unavailable" Thomas told backers in an e-mail update
Estella scored the role because Thomas is a fan of Twin Sister's music and will be using 2 songs of theirs in the movie
"This is the first movie I've ever appeared in," Estella said in a statement. "I had never seen 'Veronica Mars' before all of this. I've been increasingly interested in finding new TV shows to plow through. I watched the 'Veronica Mars' Pilot and was totally into it! It's the exact kind of show I would get obsessed with, so it's been a bit of dream to be in a movie, especially being a messed up rock princess. How could I say no? I think the VM fans are going to be very happy!"
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 has started on the project that gets distribution via Warner Bros. A Comic-Con panel for the pic is set to happen this week.
Meantime THR reports that Thomas will help develop a two-book arc that will pick up where the story of the movie ends, with publication set for spring 2014.
