    Veronica Mars Movie!!! (March 14, 2014)

    Cast and crew announced today that they put together a kickstarter page to crowd fund this movie. Set a goal of 2 million, which they hit in a few hours. Show ended way too early, so cannot wait for this to come out!

    acting: i pay you for my lines

    Code:
    Pledge $10,000 or more
    
     1 backer  All gone!
    
    You will get a speaking role in the movie. Here’s the scene — Veronica is eating with the man in her life. Things have gotten tense between them. You are the waiter/waitress. You approach the table, and you say, “Your check, sir.” We guarantee you will be on camera as you say the line. Unless you go all hammy and ruin the scene and we have to cut you out, but that would be a sad day for all of us. Just say the line. Don’t over-think it. You’re a waiter. Your motivation is to turn over the table. In addition to appearing in the movie, you’ll receive a framed copy of the page of the script that includes your line. You’ll get an invitation to the premiere and the after party. You are, after all, in the movie. Think of yourself as Guy Fleegman from Galaxy Quest. People will surely want autographs. You’ll also receive the signed movie poster, the Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack, the digital version of the movie, the T-shirt and a pdf of the shooting script.
    
    Estimated delivery: Mar 2014

    Almost $2.5M now, all 400$+ are gone lol. Rob also tweeted that they're trying to work out some rewards for non US backers, which will give this another bump.

    I hope this will turn out to be the DoubleFine Kickstarter for tv/movie productions. Firefly. Make. It. Happen.

    The 10k backer was gone within 30 minutes Rob tweeted lol. Also they are trying to get ideas for more high donation items since they are almost all gone.

    And yeah, I really hope this paves the way for more shows that ended too early to get a movie out there to wrap stuff up, or even keep it going.

    Haha what the fuck

    Dengler could find himself reaping the reward that his $10,000 entitles him to — a speaking role in the Veronica Mars movie itself. Well, as long as his schedule permits: “I’m really busy, and I travel a lot,” he noted. “I do have a day job which takes up my attention, so ironically, this might be something I won’t even be able to do in the end. I may have to nominate one of my friends to do it in my place.” Note to actual Veronica Mars superfans: Make friends with Steven Dengler ASAP.

    I figured the 10k was just some crazy superfan of the show, but it's cool to see someone like him contribute money for artists.

    Very excited, I love the show! I pledged $100 when I heard about it yesterday. Is it sad that I'm this excited about getting the T-shirt?

    That Dengler name ringed a bell and guess what? He's the guy who'll add $100k to the Torment Kickstarter if it reaches $3M. He also single-handedly funded some Double Fine game ports, like the MacOS version of Psychonauts. Crazy (awesome) guy.

    I am going to be the coolest kid ever rocking my Veronica Mars t-shirt. I think my girlfriend got one too. If not, I'll probably have to get it in her size. What a jerk.

    My wife asked if I was going to get the shirt for her. I told her she has money, she can donate if she wants one.
