VMUK were delighted to receive this release via email from
Entertainment Weekly!:
Entertainment Weekly has learned exclusively that
Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell and creator Rob Thomas are discussing a possible
Veronica Mars movie.
The impromptu pow-wow between Bell and Thomas 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 of 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."
