Something like that.

GOOD GRAVY, folks. They've got $1,512,679! And 22,854 contributors!

This has to be some kind of Kickstarter record.

ETA: So, it's kinda fun to sit and just hit refresh on the project page. The number keeps changing!

Even the normally sour pundits at TVbytheNumbers are positive on this

At this point, 26,200 + donors with a total of over $1.7 million.

If nothing else, the cast should feel the love, if they didn't already.

Absolutely!

They're on track to meet their goal by 9pm EDT.

Seriously, this has been one exhilarating day, hasn't it?! New Pope, amazing VM Kickstarter project... wow!

[r1015bill]

They are already at $1,815,361

I bet they break 2 million by 9pm.

[librarian_7]

Seriously, they.'re over $1.845 mil.

[darkstarrising]

I think y'all are right .... with 25 minutes to go, they're already at $1.93 million and ~30300 donors

[allegrita]

TWO FREAKIN' MILLION DOLLARS! And rising fast!!

[nutmegger911]

That is truly amazing.

At this rate, you would think the studios would be clamoring to become part of this project. But maybe it would be better to leave in in the fans' hands.

[librarian_7]

Holy cow, and it just keeps going up. This is an amazing response.

[Lilly]

Done deal!!!

Here's another article with some possible storyline info: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/v ... oal-428434#

Spoiler:

As for the movie's story line, Thomas revealed some teasers.

"Life has taken Veronica away from Neptune," he revealed. "In the years since spoiling [dad] Keith's [Enrico Colantoni] chances to be re-elected sheriff, Veronica hasn't taken a case. But something big is about to bring her back home and back to her calling. My goal is to include as many of your favorite characters as possible. It is, after all, time for Veronica’s 10-year high school reunion."
