Veronica Mars The Movie is GO!

Series creator Rob Thomas has confirmed his next project will be the Veronica Mars movie. He says now that his reboot of "Cupid" has been downgraded from 13 episodes to 8 that he now has the time to concentrate on the film version of the show.

Thomas says: "That means I have time to write the Veronica Mars movie. But my writing the movie is half the battle. Someone else has to pay for it. Joel Silver does have a certain pile of money. He called on me saying ‘Can we do this now?’ Kristen wants to do it. Joel wants to do it and I want to do it. For me, that’s the next project."

He goes on to say that the movie will take place at the end of her college career and not involve the FBI "what-if" storyline shot near the end of the series.

Yay! I'm officially at "Can't Wait" status. I need this now.

Best. News. Ever: A Veronica Mars Movie?!

TV News Messiah Michael Auseillo is reporting what could be the 2nd best TV-to-Movie news ever (the first being a Buffy movie): We're edging closer and closer to a Veronica Mars movie.

Kristen Bell and series creator Rob Thomas have met and discussed the possibility. Thomas says, "Kristen and I ran into each other, and we did discuss a Veronica movie." He goes on to say he has had conversations with series producer, Joel Silver. Thomas also said once he finishes work on the two pilots he is working on, the relaunch of Cupid and the adaptation of new Zealand's Outrageous Fortune, the Veronica Mars movie will be a "Top Priority."

This makes me happy.
