Kristen Bell, Rob Thomas Launch 'Veronica Mars' Movie Kickstarter, Seeking $2 Million

The cult detective comedy, which ran from 2004-2007, has long been the subject of revival rumors. Now, they're trying to make it happen through grassroots support.

Time for fans to put their money where their unending blog speculation is: if they want a Veronica Mars movie, here's a shot to make it happen.

Since the Kristen Bell-starring cult teenage detective comedy was canceled in 2007, the devoted following has clamored for a big screen revival. So far, it's been a corporate no-go, despite constant fan chatter, so creator Rob Thomas is making an appeal to the viewership to help fund the project. On Wednesday, he launched a Kickstarter campaign with the aim of raising $2 million in a single month, which would be put toward making the film this summer for an early 2014 release.
