Thanks for the articles, ladies :ghug:

It's cool knowing just how Rob Thomas is reacting to all of this. His mind is blown, he's giddy as the spark of hope he had for this movie is becoming a flame of reality.

As for the critics that see this as sullying 'art', many artists of the past realized that they had to do things they'd otherwise have preferred not to in order to achieve their dreams.

I'm thinking Michelangelo and the Sistine chapel :whistle:

As I post this, we've just crossed 50,000 donors and ~ $3.3 million!! :yahoo: :yahoo:

Sometime today, they said Canadians could donate even though it says US only.

Seems to have slowed down alot. It's at 3.4 million now.

There is now an IMDb page for the movie! :teeth:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2771372/


It's too soon for it to have a MOVIEmeter score, but it should debut pretty high next week. For those who are intersted in this sort of thing, creator Rob Thomas' score went from 14,585 last week to 527 this week! :thumbs:

An article from Rob. It includes what Veronica has been doing from the final episode to the beginning of the movie. That might be considered "spoilers".

BTW. The amount is now at 3.633 million.

From the Huffington Post, an interesting perspective on how the VM Kickstarter campaign has 'rattled' the movie industry.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20130322/us-film-veronica-mars/?utm_hp_ref=green&ir=green

Some of the poorer attitudes call this 'electronic panhandling' but others see it for what it is, an attempt by the fans to fulfill their desire to see a VM movie.

I think I'm going to enjoy all the tweets from Rob Thomas throughout the VM movie production.
Rob Thomas ‏@RobThomas 27m
Happy 8th B-day to my daughter, Greta. She'd like to see a good dragon in the VM movie. "None of that noir BS, dad."

Rob Thomas ‏@RobThomas 25m
New stretch goal -- $10M for good dragon.

:snicker: Now I'm speculating about ways he could incorporate a good dragon into the movie. I'm sure Logan would be involved somehow. :winky:
