The Kickstarter campaign for a Veronica Mars movie, with the “we’re-in” stamp of approval from Kristen Bell and creator Rob Thomas, has as of this moment raised over $1.5 million dollars from just under 23,000 people, or a little over $66 per person, averaged out. This puts them over three-quarters of the way toward their goal of $2 million for a summer shoot, which they will likely pass less than 24 hours after first announcing the possible project. Mark your calendars with this date, because this represents a sea change (and not totally for the better) for studio-controlled niche projects. The only question is which big-name cult-appeal title gets the treatment next… Twin Peaks, perhaps?
