Kickstarter Project for Veronica Mars Movie! - Goal met!
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...
This morning at 11:00 EDT, Rob Thomas launched a Kickstarter project to fund the long-awaited Veronica Mars movie!
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!

$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.

Re: Kickstarter Project for Veronica Mars Movie!
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.
Thanks for finding this Lilly!
ETA: I love the end of the FAQ section

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.)

Re: Kickstarter Project for Veronica Mars Movie!
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!!

Re: Kickstarter Project for Veronica Mars Movie!
I just love Rob Thomas.
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!

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

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/
