The Veronica Mars Kickstarter Campaign

Mostly a reflection of the reactions of television critics and scholars, and while there was much rejoicing, some did issue cautions about the long-term implications of a fan-funded but studio owned film.

    @Lesismore9o9 The movie should have Veronica follow the money donated to a dubious Kickstarter campaign.

    If 'Veronica Mars' can raise $1 mil in a day, surely we can bang out funding for a #Firefly movie in a month tops

    Could the new #VeronicaMars movie suck? Sure, but @moryan explains why that doesn't matter: huff.to/13TtKlF

    Not sure who made the bigger news splash on my Timeline today: the Vatican or Veronica Mars.

    @RowanKaiser you're telling me you wouldn't watch that?

    What if the Veronica Mars movie is just a shot-for-shot remake of The Big Lebowski?

    @TVMoJoe I'm the agencies are going crazy right now figuring that out. And either way, VM is going to have a VOD component so-

    @BrianDuffield but doesn't that extra $ go to production, not marketing

    Brian Duffield@BrianDuffield
    @TVMoJoe That was the case for the $2m. But it's clear VM is going to raise much, much more than that.

    @sepinwall @MarkHarrisNYC @nprmonkeysee They say they have no such intention, but I do wonder if this will change.

    Why, exactly would the notion of Veronica Mars working for the FBI be appealing? Let's get rid of the thing that made it unique, apparently!

    If I'm being honest, I'd probably pay $10 just to watch Jason Dohring scrub pots and pans for 90 minutes.

    @BrianDuffield How is it free if they spend millions to market and distribute?

    Also, when the #VernonicaMarsMovie is kickstart'd, Rob Thomas should tweet "Habemus Mars." #tryingingtoohard

    Again guys. Warner Brothers is LITERALLY getting a free movie, where they (and the talent) get 100% of the profits.

    Is there a kickstarter where I can give @louisck money to get started on Pootie Tang 2?

    White smoke! Does that mean there is a replacement for Jason Kilar at Hulu?

    They should do the white smoke thing when they announce a new Bachelor/Bachelorette, too.

    @MarkHarrisNYC @NPRMonkeySee This assumes, of course, that Warner Bros. intends to spend a single cent on production.
