There are two groups of young adult television audiences: People that watched Veronica Mars, and people that never saw it but had friends who watched it and wouldn’t shut up about how good it was despite its limited amount of seasons and subsequent cancellation. That audience formula is essentially the only variable when discussing what makes a cult show, and Mars was quite the cult phenomenon. Now, through the magic of Kickstarter, you can help Kristen Bell privately investigate her way back into your heart. Yes, a Veronica Mars movie is up for some crowd-sourced funding.
After the show was canned, creator Rob Thomas wrote a script for a film, but Warner Bros. wasn’t having it, and decided not to pursue its development. Now, with a minimum goal of two million bucks, you’ll have your chance at more Mars. The Kickstarter campaign was only launched today, and is already nearing the halfway point of one million dollars. Both Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell are on-board, so the movie will be sure to capture the same feel of the show.

The rewards for funding this project are on par with standard Kickstarter rewards. A minimum pledge of $10 will get you a copy of the shooting script of the movie, while a maximum pledge of $10,000 will net you a speaking role in the movie. Unfortunately, that pledge — limited to one backer — has already been filled. The pledger, whose identity will at least be revealed when we see him or her in the movie, will play the role of a waiter or waitress, and will speak the illustrious line of “Your check, sir.” We can only imagine that, after the movie releases, said waiter or waitress will be discovered and experience a meteoric rise to top-tier Hollywood fame.
Considering the best reward is gone, you might enjoy the next tier down. For $8,000, you’ll get to name a character in the movie. The name will be said out loud at least once, but will have to be authorized by the legal department first. We assume you’ll only be allowed to offer up names that aren’t ridiculous, because this is a Hollywood film and not your 17th MMO alt. You’ll also get to be an extra in the film.
