But it would've been even cooler to have had a ringside seat in Rob Thomas' office instead: At around the same time the man from Atlantis was making the splash heard 'round the world, the creator of Veronica Mars was sitting down with his beloved, lamented series' star, Kristen Bell, to discuss bringing the cult hit to the big screen. Seriously. The impromptu powwow took place last week in the offices of Thomas' Hollywood-based production company, which just so happens to be located on the same lot where Bell is shooting Heroes. "Kristen and I ran into each other, and we did discuss a Veronica movie," confirms Thomas, who says he has also had "a few conversations" with Mars executive producer Joel Silver. "It's very tough to focus on it right now with two pilots on my plate," adds Thomas, referring to his two ABC projects, a reworking of his '90s dramedy Cupid and an adaptation of the New Zealand series Outrageous Fortune. "But as soon as I have any free time, that's my top priority. " For her part, Bell considers it a "major compliment" that people are still interested in Mars. "[Fans] still ask me all the time if the show's coming back. Emotionally, I don't want to think about Veronica Mars every day because it really does make me sad. " Regarding her recent chat with Thomas about a Mars feature, the star of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, perhaps not wanting to jinx things, flashes a Cheshire cat grin and says, "We'll see. " Translation: We're halfway there to getting this thing greenlit! Now let's take care of the other half by turning the comments section into a makeshift petition. Do you want to see a VM feature?

TV shows -> movies never do well (with a few exceptions) nor do they ever transition well. Instead of going big-screen, maybe just a TV movie (or something similar like Battlestar Galactica has done) so they don't have too much pressure of appealing to the mass public.

Completely agreed. I don't think a wide (or even limited) release movie of VM would do particularly well. The show has always had an incredibly loyal fan base, but the problem (not including the massive shitting CW did on the show in season 3) was that it never had a particularly large one. And it isn't the same as a case like Sex and the City, where even if the average amount of viewers for both were around the same numbers (not sure if they were but they were within spitting distance of each other, I feel like) SATC was on HBO, a channel not everyone has access to. VM was on UPN/CW which is on basic cable and for whatever reason it didn't garner the viewers it should have. So while a movie like SATC would have mass appeal, especially given the DVD sales and general-mindedness of the masses, VM doesn't have mass appeal (hence why it was always a cult show) That said, I do hope they make a TV movie at the very least, just to tie up loose ends and have a good, solid last mystery to go off on. And get Veronica and Logan together for once, without all the insanity please GOD/

I've seen a lot of shipper sites popping up.

Movie, TV Movie, hell they could do a shampoo commercial and I would be happy. I just want to see these characters again. I really hope they can do some flashbacks though so they have an excuse to bring back Beaver. I love Kyle Gallner so much. and I really would like her to return to Neptune High for some reason. I miss Van Clemmons and just the whole setting.
