Veronica Mars ran for three seasons; two on UPN and the last on the CW. The show revolves around a young teen detective who solves both large and small cases. The series stars Kristen Bell in the title role and also features the talents of Percy Daggs III, Jason Dohring, Francis Capra, Enrico Colantoni, Ryan Hansen, Teddy Dunn, Michael Muhney, Tina Majorino, and Brandon Hillock.
Shortly after the CW cancelled Veronica Mars, series creator Rob Thomas said that he wanted to continue the show’s story as a movie. Bell was on board, as was show executive producer Joel Silver. Unfortunately, the project hasn’t been made and it doesn’t look like that’s going to change.
At the recent TCA press tour, Futon Critic’s Brian Ford Sullivan asked Thomas about the movie. He said, “I would write it if anyone would finance it. If anyone’s interested in making that movie I am available, Kristen’s [Bell] available. I would love to do it. I think the closest we came was Joel [Silver] pushing it at Warner Bros. and they didn’t bite. It has sort of gone away.”
Thomas also mentioned that Bell misspoke when, in a previous interview, she said that he had a script ready to go. He said, “I have a treatment, I don’t have a script. So she shouldn’t have jumped the gun on that but I am ready to write a script.”
What do you think? Do you think a Veronica Mars feature film will ever happen? Should it be a TV movie instead?

12,440 #veronicamars fans will go see the movie!!! Will you???http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=97750248959&ref=ts
yes I think they should at least make it a TV movie for the fans. They kind of left us hanging…Not COOL
Might be better of as a made for TV movie… Thought it was pretty depressing how the show just ended, and with so much potential! 🙁
they shouldnt just make a mvie, they should make 3 new series of Veronica Mars. IM DIEING HERE WITHOUT IT!
I say make the movie! I think they owe it to us, there is no end to the show and that is really upsetting. I actually cried when I saw the last episode because I didn’t want to believe that it was the end. This show is one of the best and it should be worth while to make it a movie or another season. Whatever takes to at least end it the way it should have ended.
I am desperate for more Veronica Mars. Go movie go! This show is incredibly well written and the cast just runs with it. I am 36 (when the hell did that happen?) and still find it compelling, insightful and entertaining despite the high school/college setting. It speaks to my past, present and future and I would love to see more. Make it happen Hollywood!
im here in new zealand and i am dying to have an ending to this TV series thats got me hooked…!!!!!
i just started watching it again because i’d miss an episode… got the whole season, 1 2 & 3.
just starting off with season 3 but im guessing it will be an unfinished ending… please Rob, we’re so hooked on this amazing tv series that i think we all need an ending, a good one. please!
I think it’s too late now. I don’t see it happenning.
Miss my season1-veronica.
I agree with Missingmars: TV Movie, straight-to-DVD, full-length feature film, miniseries – WHATEVER. I would absolutely love to see one last VM story, in any form.
Pllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeease make the movie! *cries*
I just started watching and am totally hooked on the series – bought the boxed set and am anxiously awaiting season 3. Closure would be really really nice…would prefer a movie to comics, but I’ll take what I can get 🙂
Mars is not my cut of tea, I’d rather see FLASH POINT. Please keep it on the air and on DVD for the fans.
Blessing, Cynthia
Seriously. Straight to DVD movie-TV movie-WHATEVER! Have Rob flush out his treatment and let’s get it made!!!
A girl needs closure!
I just LOVE it. I Went complitly crazy when it stoped. I really want the movie to come out of that they continue the series. It’s my favorite series !
Please make the movie ! xx
