Currently have $10 in, probably should bump it up to get the digital copy. I'm assuming the Blu-ray will be available for purchase at some point?

I actually asked through Kickstarter back when it started, and got a response from somebody working on the campaign confirming that the Blu-Ray being given away on the Kickstarter will be identical to the version released later for purchase. So you can back to get it digitally, purchase the BluRay later, and not really miss out on anything.

 

[lazybones18]

Come on, $5.7mil!

 

[undrtakr900]

Come on, $5.7mil!

eDIt: It went up 2K in that time it took to write that lol

eDIt 2: Now we need $700 in 2 minutes to hit 6 mil!

eDIt 3: My bad, I read the number wrong it's actually to hit the 5.7million mark.

 

[lazybones18]

Why the Kicktraq's website never updates the final number on their pages when a project has ended?

I would have liked to see the statistics for today.

$5.7M is pretty fucking awesome.

^^ Kool, I hope they have a making of special feature on the DVD showcasing all their previous failed/successful attempts at getting the movie off the ground and funded.

Any word on weather any of the other VMars actors/actresses will be on board for the movie? I know they had Logan modeling the VM movie shirts, I hope he's confirmed to be in the movie also.

Filming in Los Angeles. Nice!

I'm excited and relieved to tell you, exclusively, that Enrico Colantoni has officially signed on to reprise his role as Keith Mars.

Shouldn't this have been kind of expected from the kickstarter video? I kind of got the impression that they were all in and ready to go?

He was in there, but never officially confirmed. I think only Bell and Dohring had been confirmed.

 

[Zoe]

He was in there, but never officially confirmed. I think only Bell and Dohring had been confirmed.

Even then, they announced when JD was officially signed.

Don't forget, the video was made over a year ago.

I guess that's the key point I forgot. It being made a while ago is a big factor, they probably had no idea if it would even happen.

Percy Daggs III - Wallace Fennel

TMZ has learned, Kristen Bell's co-star Percy Daggs III is 100% down for the reboot.

http://www.tmz.com/2013/03/14/veronica-mars-movie-percy-daggs-iii/

Veronica will still definitely be very close with one man from her past though: Wallace (Percy Daggs III)! Thomas assures that "they are still very close."

http://uk.eonline.com/news/400058/v...out-romance-dax-shepard-s-cameo-and-much-more

Have you heard from the various co-stars like Tina and Percy?
Oh yeah. I reached out to all of them before we launched. Four of them were in the video, but before we launched, I talked to Francis Capra [Eli "Weevil" Navarro], Percy Daggs, Tina Majorino and Chris Lowell [Stosh "Piz" Piznarski] and told them what we're doing and that I hoped they would be available and excited about it. They certainly all are, but we don't have them in deals yet.

Francis Capra - Eli "Weevil" Navarro

Question: Will the #veronicamarsmovie still have the same snarky humor as the show did? And Will Weevil be making an appearance?
Thomas: Yes to the first. And I sure hope Francis/Weevil will be in it. I'm planning on it.

Max Greenfield - Leo D'Amato

Thomas was willing to divulge one familiar face fans can expect to see on the big screen: Deputy Leo, played by the Emmy-nominated Greenfield! "Max is driving a hard bargain to reprise his role as Deputy Leo. His direct quote was that he'd take no pay and fly himself to set," Thomas says. "He'll be the Leo we've known and loved. We'll find him working as a detective for the San Diego Police Department."

http://uk.eonline.com/news/398514/v...ing-series-back-to-tv-max-greenfield-s-return

"I'm excited! I love all those guys. They gave me one of my first jobs," Greenfield says of the Veronica Mars movie becoming a reality. "It was a big break for me and people really liked me on that show. I had such a good time with all of them. I think I'm going down to do a day or two on the movie in June or something, so that should be just great."

When asked if Thomas has shared any spoilers or plotlines with him, Greenfield coyly responds, "We've been emailing, we've been emailing." One thing we do know about Deputy Leo is that he will be working as a detective in the San Diego Police Department, which Thomas exclusively revealed to us. "I gotta re-tap into that whole thing!" Greenfield says with a laugh.

But fans of Veronica and Deputy Leo shouldn't get their hopes up for a romantic reunion. "I think there are some other characters you'd like to see her get with, but I'm so thrilled they thought of me and are bringing me back for even the few days I'm working on it," Greenfield says.

Ken Marino - Vinnie Van Lowe

Question: Will Vinnie and Cliff be back? Please say yes.

Teddy Dunn - Duncan Kane

Thomas goes on to tease that he hopes to see Wallace (Percy Daggs III), Gia (Krysten Ritter) and Madison Sinclair (Amanda Noret), Carrie Bishop (Leighton Meester) and Duncan (Teddy Dunn).

http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2013/...en-ritter-and-francis-capra-among-others.html

As for Veronica's first love Duncan (Teddy Dunn)? There are "unknown odds" on seeing him again, and "zero" for seeing Meg's (Alona Tal) kid.

Does anyone want Piz back, really

 

[DoctorPayne]

Ryan Hansen isn't confirmed? Buh?

 

[jb1234]

Ryan Hansen isn't confirmed? Buh?

Contracts are a bitch to work out, I'm betting.

 

[jelmerjt]

Ryan Hansen isn't confirmed? Buh?

So now we've got Veronica, Logan and Keith. Plus the waiter. That makes four. That's a solid starting cast.

Not yet

"Max is driving a hard bargain to reprise his role as Deputy Leo. His direct quote was that he'd take no pay and fly himself to set," Thomas says.

Woah Respect for him if true.

Wow, I have no recollection of Leighton Meester on the show.

 

[Zoe]

Wow, I have no recollection of Leighton Meester on the show.

She's the one who claimed to have an affair with Adam Scott.

 

[undrtakr900]

Hmm...I was thinking, it's been like 6 years since the show and it might be a little surreal seeing all our favorite character suddenly grown up after playing college-age kids. Except for Kristen Bell since she never really left the spot light and she's still fine as ever <3

Confirmed

Unconfirmed

Awesome! we got the main 3 characters confirmed. Next I was Wallace and Mac to get the old crew back together.

Wow, I have no recollection of Leighton Meester on the show.

Me either. It was weird seeing all those familiar faces in the thumbnails from newer shows, completely forgot about them being in Veronica Mars. As I scanned through the thumbnails I was having realizations...

Max Greenfield - Leo D'Amato (New Girl!)
Krysten Ritter - Gia Goodman (Breaking Bad!)
Leighton Meester - Carrie Bishop (Gossip Girl!)

When I wikipidia'd Daran Norris - Cliff McCormack, I found out that he does extensive voice work for a lot of different product including videogames, everything from Everquest to Ninja Gaiden to KOTOR, etc.

 

[BertramCooper]

Don't forget to add Jessica Chastain to the list, just for shits and giggles.

(Surely you all remember Jessica Chastain on VM, right?)

^^^ All the celebs have uber trainers/dietary advisors that help them get back in shape. So I'm sure Kristen will be in tip top shape come shooting time.

Don't forget to add Jessica Chastain to the list, just for shits and giggles.

(Surely you all remember Jessica Chastain on VM, right?)

I did after I googled her lol. Dam I need to watch VMars again to see if I can spot any other cameos.

It would be a crime not to with that voice of his.

Hells yeah, been a while since I watched VMars, but can't forget his voice.

Hope they have her in sexy outfits

haha, this reminds me of one episode where the director had like perfect Kristen Bell cleavage shots throughout the entire episode. The camera was always angled high or Bell was leaning over in low cut tops.

Project Update #29: 10 years later and he's still full of pimp juice: Wallace is back.

Dear Backers,

Remember when I said that we’d have casting news for you soon? Well, I meant it.

If all goes according to plan, we’ll have casting news every day next week. (Perhaps that would sound more impressive if we didn’t start shooting the week after.) Still, I think you’ll be happy.

And just to kick your weekend off right, here’s an exclusive announcement to get you started: despite his unconscionable love of the Los Angeles Lakers, I’m thrilled to announce that Percy Daggs III will be returning to reprise the role of Wallace Fennel.

As so many of you wrote to remind me, Wallace’s friendship with Veronica has always been one of the foundations of the show. And now that he’s officially signed, I can admit that there was never a version of the script that didn’t include him. It just wouldn’t happen.

Percy asked me to pass along a message:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-11PlBvUkc4
And then there were five: Veronica, Logan, Keith, Wallace and the waiter. (Only — spoiler alert! — he might not be a waiter anymore. We’re still figuring that part out.)

Please join me in welcoming Percy back in the comments, or tell him yourself on Twitter – his official account is @PDaggsIII.

A parting thought: this time next week, we’ll be less than 72 hours away from our first take.

Enjoy your weekends, backers.

Rob
