Vind Tina Majorino sowieso een heel leuke actrice.

Nu hebben we bijna alle grote namen toch?

Tja, Duncan en Parker niet (gaap), en ik hoop zelf nog op Vinnie, en misschien een terugkeer van Veronica's moeder? Maar ik ben al meer dan tevreden zo.

Vinnie zou puik zijn!

Project Update #35: The Good, The Bad & The Stoned.

Dear Backers,

It’s been a long day, and it will inevitably be an even longer tomorrow, so with your permission, I’ll keep this update short and sweet.

The confirmed cast continues to grow, and this evening, I’m pleased to announce not one, not two, but three more characters who will be joining us as we return to Neptune:

- Brandon Hillock, as the long-suffering Deputy Sacks,
- Kevin Sheridan, as chronic ne’er-do-well Sean Friedrich, and
- Jonathan Chesner, as aspiring horticulturist Corny.

As different as their characters are, all three of these gentleman have one thing in common: they’re an absolute pleasure to work with, and to write for. I’m delighted to have them back for the movie. I’m equally delighted to report that they each passed along a message for me to share with you.
A Message From Brandon

Greetings, Mars fans!

I could NOT be more excited to return to Veronica Mars. I have to thank Rob for personally casting me in the show, and giving me my first big break ever. And now, again, for bringing me back! So thank you Rob, and Kristen, and most of all, the fans! I would not be here if it wasn’t for all of you.

As for Deputy Sacks: the last time we saw him, he had just made his first kill trying to save his partner and boss, Sheriff Lamb. Alas, he didn’t make it in time. I think that does something to a man. Will we see a different Sacks in this film? I can’t tell you that. But I can tell you one thing that won’t be different: the ‘stache. Sacks rocked a mustache before it was cool, and he sure as hell ain’t about to give it up now.

Thanks for giving me another round as Sacks. I can’t wait.

A Message From Kevin

UNREAL!!! I feel so incredibly GRATEFUL to all the fans of VM and backers on Kickstarter. Rob, Kristen, Diane & Dan -- my respect and admiration for you all is endless. What you all have accomplished so far is mind boggling. Truly a testament to your talents and character. If any of you ever need an organ donated or a bullet to be taken, preferably, in a non vital area -- Kevin Sheridan is your man.

Before working on Veronica Mars I was like a wounded, motherless doe. Gangly legged, wide eyed, and full of fear. Then Rob Thomas et all took me in and thus began my maturation process. The nights were slow and painful -- "Who am I?" I would ask. "Why is this world so scary?" Rob and Kristen sat and listened, not because they particularly cared, but because it was the only way they could get me to shut up.

Then, under their tutelage and guidance, I blossomed. With their help I discovered my one and only talent -- thievery. Stealing anything and everything. It's a pretty good life I must say and I owe it all to VERONICA MARS.

But seriously... I am so thrilled to be working again with such wonderful people. Working on Veronica Mars was one of the highlights of my life. I am chomping at the bit to see everyone again and do whatever I can to make this film a success.

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

Kevin
A Message From Jonathan

I can’t tell you how excited I am to be able to come back and play Veronica Mars’ most striking, mysterious, and handsome male…CORNY! When I heard about this Kickstarter campaign, I was so excited. For years I’ve missed delivering pizzas, getting tasered, and being Neptune’s most loveable stoner.

Funny story: when I first went to audition for Veronica Mars, I accidentally downloaded the wrong script. So, I showed up ready to blow away the competition… for the role of Wallace Fennel. Apart from not being black and having no idea what the heck was going on – it was the scene where he gets duct taped to a flag pole – I figured I’d be perfect.

Unfortunately, my audition got off to a bad start. Before I even arrived, I spilled Chinese food all over myself, soiling my garments. But maybe that was supposed to happen, because things worked out pretty well, and now here we are.

I’m not sure what Corny has been doing since graduating from Neptune, but I’ve been busy. Among other exploits, I surfed a bunch, wrote the award-winning ADHD in HD: Brains Gone Wild! (seriously, it just won a Ben Franklin book award!), and came up with a cool invention for wheelchairs. Random, right?

I can’t wait to see some old faces and bring a new chapter to Veronica Mars history. Rob Thomas, you are l-e-g-i-t! Can’t wait to film.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go find my tuxedo t-shirt for the premiere.

Hi-fives!

Jonathan

Please welcome these gentlemen back into the fold, either in the comments on or Twitter, where you can find them posting as @FanBoyBrandon, @sheridankevin and @jonathanchesner.

I’ll end tonight’s message, dear backers, by sharing two exciting numbers: 14, which is the number of actors we've announced in our official cast, and 84, which is the approximate number of hours left until we start shooting.

And yes, we still have more casting announcements to share tomorrow.

Until then,

Rob

Project Update #36: She used to have, like, a thousand friends on (the old) MySpace.

Dear Backers,

We’ve reached the end of pre-production. The final details are falling into place.

Over the last few days, our cast members have been meeting with the costume designers. We’re almost finished scouting locations and planning out our shots. And this afternoon — no spoilers — we’ll spend some time finalizing the stunts and special effects for an important scene. Our production team has now grown to more than 85 people, each working around the clock to bring Veronica back to life. Next week, it will be even more.

If there was time to stop and reflect, it might be hard to believe this is all happening. But there’s not time for that, because it is happening. And it starts in less than 72 hours.

Before it does, there are still a few more returning characters to announce. This time, I’m delighted to confirm that Krysten Ritter will be returning as Gia Goodman.

Despite the name of her most recent television series, Krysten couldn’t be lovelier to work with. I’m thrilled that she’ll be joining us for the movie.

From the message she passed along, I suspect she is too.
A Message From Krysten

G-G-G-Gia!!!! I'm thrilled to be reprising my role of Gia Goodman in the Veronica Mars movie!!! It's gonna be very juicy Marshmallows!!!!! AAAHHHH!!!! Forgive my over-use of exclamation points. Since you can't hear me squealing, I'm reduced to excessive punctuation. Ha!

Veronica Mars has a special place in my heart because it was my first big acting job (!!!!!!) and it was also one of the most lovely on-set experiences you could ever ask for. This will truly be an awesome shoot, not only because we all get to be reunited (can't WAIT!) but because of the revolutionary way this all was able to come to life!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Rob Thomas, Kristen Bell, Kickstarter, and most of all, to you, our AMAZING FANS, for making it happen. I'm honored to be a part of it!

______

With Krysten, that brings our confirmed cast up to 15 people.

Please join me in welcoming the lovely and talented Ms. Ritter back to Neptune in the comments, and find her on Twitter as @KrystenRitter.

Three days to go.

Rob

Project Update #37: Friday afternoon: must be time for a Dick Party!
Backer_white For backers only, Posted by Rob Thomas Like

Dear Backers,

In the video that launched our Kickstarter campaign, the first person you saw on screen was Ryan Hansen, just sitting in Kristen’s living room and laughing. At me, as it turned out.

Almost a year and a half after directing Ryan in that video, it's a relief to admit what many of you have suspected all week: Ryan Hansen will return as Dick Casablancas.

I could say more about Ryan, and how much I’ve enjoyed working with him — on both Veronica Mars and Party Down – but that would keep you from watching the video he sent along.

And trust me, I want you to see this. Probably more than once.

When you’re done re-watching that – go ahead, I’ll wait – please join me in welcoming Ryan back in the comments, or say hello to him on Twitter as @HiRyanHansen.

Two days left until we start shooting. We've come a long way, gang.

Have a good weekend,

Rob

Dick

Dat vind ik nog best een knappe prestatie

Hoezo? Heb een jaar geleden ofzo de hele serie gezien, inclusief die gare FBI pilot episode. Nu kom ik ineens dit topic tegen. Waarom is dat raar?

A break on the #VeronicaMarsMovie set for me. So obviously, I'm trying out this weighted hula hoop. @veronicamars





@robthomas it's real


@franciscapra They gon' get this work... Ya boy Eli learned how to dress the past 10 years.

Ik kreeg net een mail van Rob (aangezien we nu vriendjes zijn mag ik m bij zijn voornaam noemen ). Het was weer zo'n kickstarter update, dit keer alleen over de t-shirt die je krijgt als je meer dan 10 dollar hebt gedoneerd. Dit stukje staat er in:

3. We’ve got great variant designs for our EU backers. For several reasons I can’t begin to explain, we had to make slight changes to the designs for our backers in the EU, since we couldn’t include the words “Veronica Mars.” I’m feeling great about how they turned out, and hope you’ll love them too. You’ll see these below.

Heeft iemand enig idee waarom het EU design anders moest?

Ik heb geen idee.. Maar dan vind ik het vast minder erg dat ik geen t shirt heb

Ik vind de EU versie eigenlijk beter. Even kijken voor een plaatje.
