Veronica Mars On Kickstarter Closes Out

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


The film broke several Kickstarter records - including fastest project to reach $2 million, all-time highest-funded project in the film category, the third highest-funded project in Kickstarter history, and the most project backers of any project in Kickstarter history.

Kristen Bell and Jason Dohring as Logan Echolls are the only confirmed cast members for the "Veronica Mars" film so far.

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.

The film is on track to go into production this Summer and get distribution via Warner Bros. A Comic-Con panel for the pic is also expected to happen in July.
