Greenfield On The Case In "Veronica Mars" Film

"New Girl" star Max Greenfield confirmed in an interview with Gold Derby he will reprise his role as Deputy Leo in "Veronica Mars" movie.


It’s gonna be like a fun reunion," he said. "You wanna go in there and do some really solid work because obviously, people put up their own money to see this. I think everybody who’s playing a part in this thing has a responsibility, which is fun and exciting.”

Greenfield played Veronica's (Kristen Bell) love interest, Deputy Leo D'Amato, during the show's first season, and continued to pop up throughout the series.

Jason Dohring returns 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. Brandon Hillock, who played Deputy Sacks, Kevin Sheridan, who played Sean Friedrich, Jonathan Chesner, who was known affectionately by his fellow Neptune High students as Corny. Krysten Ritter is back as Gia Goodman Daran Norris (Cliff McCormack), Amanda Noret (Madison Sinclair) Sam Huntington (Luke Haldeman) and Enrico Colantoni (Keith Mars) will be back too.

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 has started on the project that gets distribution via Warner Bros. A Comic-Con panel for the pic is also expected to happen in July.
