Kickstarter Project for Veronica Mars Movie! - Goal met!

Post by Lilly »

I know we have a VM thread in Past Projects, but this is big news and had the potential to be a "new" project for Jason... :teeth:

This morning at 11:00 EDT, Rob Thomas launched a Kickstarter project to fund the long-awaited Veronica Mars movie! :hyper2: :hyper2: :hyper2:

With Warner Brothers' blessing and key stars on board to film this summer, the goal is to raise $2,000,000 by April 12.

Details and an awesome video -- featuring Jason -- are found here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/559 ... ie-project

In just over an hour, they've raised almost $200,000! :woohoo:

$644,000 now! Amazing! If you refresh your browser, you can see how fast it's going up. I bet they have the money by Friday 1am. I shall be giving when I get home tonight.

P.S. I love Jason's "smoldering" look on the video. :giggle:

I don't think there's any question that they'll get the money. They already have $937,000 and they are only hours into it.

I bet Kristin and Rob are amazed at how fast this is happening. :cheer:

Thanks for finding this Lilly!

ETA: I love the end of the FAQ section
Q: What if the movie doesn't end in the way I've believed it should end for the past six years.

A: Eek.

Q: Veronica better end up with Logan, Rob. She just better.

A: That's not a question.

Q: We're just saying...

A: I hear you. Remember it's noir. There aren't a lot of happy endings.

Q: Noir, my ass. We've waited a long time for this.

A: (Busily reworking super-grim ending.)

Love it!!

Seriously, if Rob Thomas knows what's good for him, he should leave the VM fans with a satisfying ending, if not a happy one.

ETA: and now they're over $1Million!!

I just love Rob Thomas. :snicker: :hearts:

And they're over $1,000,000 now - just 4 hours and ten minutes in! That's over 14,000 backers!


ETA: Word is -- 4 hours to raise $1 million is a new Kickstarter record! :highfive:

If I donate enough, you think they'll bring back my character of "beefy resident?" #VeronicaMars http://tvline.com/2013/03/13/veronica-m ... -campaign/
:snicker: :snicker:

They are up to $1,277,587. Do you think they'll get to 2 million in less than 24 hours?
