[scifinoir2] Veronica Mars Movie Really Happening?
I remembered that a few of you were fans. By Josh http://www.cinemablend.com/features/About-Us-296.html#Josh%20Tyler Tyler: 2009-01-22 22:52:16 javascript:void(0) ShareThis Even though the show never found a particularly large audience, Veronica Mars movie rumors have run rampant since the series' cancellation back in May of 2007. Till now, nothing has really come from any of the buzz. But today Mars producer Rob Thomas spoke to E! http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b79975_veronica_mars_mov ie_finally_in_works.html?sid=rss_kristinutm_source=eonlineutm_medium=rssfe edsutm_campaign=rss_kristin and made it sound as if this thing really is happening. Thomas says he's about to start writing a script for a Veronica Mars feature. That's the next project, he insists. It won't however, be Veronica Mars: The College Years as some had speculated. Instead Thomas is considering a different direction. I think it would open just days before Hearst College graduation, so Veronica would be at the end of her college career, he reveals. He's just starting to think about a script, so it's much to early to start thinking cast. That'll come after he writes it. He does however, definitely need Kristen Bell and Rob says she wants to do it. That's not exactly a contract, but at least she's up for it. He should have the money to hire her if he wants her. According to Thomas there's a producer ready with fundage: Joel Silver does have a certain pile of money that he can decide on, and he called me asking, 'Can we do this now?'
[scifinoir2] Veronica Mars Movie Heating Up?
Veronica Mars Movie Heating Up? Creator, star meet about a big screen version. by Jim Vejvoda http://movies.ign.com/email.html August 20, 2008 - There was http://movies.ign.com/articles/791/791214p1.html talk last year that http://tv.ign.com/objects/820/820531.html Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas wanted to bring that short-lived TV series back as a feature film. Now comes word that Thomas and the series' star Kristen Bell have actually sat down to talk about the project. Entertainment Weekly's http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2008/08/exclusive-veron.html The Ausiello Files recently chatted with Thomas, who confirmed that he and Bell met at his production company office to discuss the Mars movie. It's very tough to focus on it right now with two pilots [Cupid and Outrageous Fortune] on my plate, Thomas told the site when asked about the film. But as soon as I have any free time, that's my top priority. Thomas also acknowledged that he's had a few conversations with the series' executive producer, Joel Silver. The series followed teenager Veronica Mars, once one of the popular kids, who finds herself an outcast after a series of events that began with the murder of her best friend. Following in her private eye father's footsteps, she takes cases from her classmates, while trying to solve the murder and avenge her friend. http://movies.ign.com/articles/900/900673p1.html
Re: [scifinoir2]Veronica Mars
Yeah I sorta tuned out with the way the rape was treated as well, I found the treatment to be pretty insensitive. Also, and I gotta be honest here, if I'm gonna watch a show like this, I need there to be better looking women. I may as well watch Charmed. My daughter follows Veronica Mars pretty closely and loves it. I'm about to confirm a rumour that's been going around a bit, but speaking of better looking women on TV, Nona Gaye is replacing Courtney Vance on Law Order: CI. http://www.nbc.com/Law__Order:_Criminal_Intent/bios/Nona_Gaye.shtml Now THAT I can watch.

Re: [scifinoir2]Veronica Mars
Are you talking about Veronica having been assaulted back when she was still popular? That was revisited in flashbacks throughout the show. Some dudes got her loopy on a spiked drink, right? I don't know if that was necessarily frivolous, as it's a real problem for women, especially young women in the dating/partying scene.

RE: [scifinoir2]Veronica Mars
Well put, Tracey. You summed that up very well. The way you stated that also can demonstrate how scifi fans aren't necessarily geeks or nerds, but people who appreciate imaginative and exciting writing. I like Star Trek and B5 as much for the real human drama and exploration of moral issues as much as pure action or high tech sets and effects. Frankly, I've noticed that most scifi/animation/fantasy/comic fans are more open-minded and diverse in our interests than those people who still tend to look down on the scifi/sword-and-sorcery crowd. _ From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.

I've caught a couple of eps. it's alright. But then, little in TV moves me these days, in a non-SF vein. Bosco Bosco [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone out there watch VM?
