Veronica Mars movie is not happening and it’s the final decision of the creators. Earlier this year, there has been a plenty of rumors about the movie version of Veronica Mars. Since then, it has been the hot-topic of discussion among the fans of the series. Rob Thomas, the show creator, also showed his interest in the project but it all could not be worked out. Ultimately, the fans are given the bad news that there would no Veronica Mars movie.

It all became public during an interview with Veronica Mars actress Kristen Bell. The lady said in a sad tone, “I don’t think it will ever happen, and here’s why: [Series creator] Rob Thomas and I had a powwow, and we were both 100 percent on board. We took our proposal to Warner Bros. and Joel Silver told us that there is no enthusiasm [there] to make a Veronica Mars movie, and that is unfortunately a roadblock we cannot compete with”.   She also asked the fans to launch a letter-writing campaign to get the things back on track. So, Veronica Mars won’t hit the theatres soon or may never. When Kristen has no hopes, how you and I can have?

Well, being very honest, I always have doubts regarding the movie version of Veronica Mars. It’s a series which struggled to complete its three season. What made it to struggle for survival? Of course, the low ratings! And, now tell me what one could expect from the movie version of such show. Even then, it would have been great, if Veronica Mars movie could have released! A little ray of hope still exists. Celebrities don’t take time to get their words back and to make new announcements. Example is in front of us. It has not been very long when we’re given assurance that Veronica Mars would return. And, as of now, everything is put to an end. Let’s see when the next official announcement comes out!

We’re running this website to bring the latest Veronica Mars stuff to the fans of the series. Join us to stay updated. Moreover, you can also watch online and download episodes of Veronica Mars.

Odette Yustman, Kristin Chenoweth and Betty White recently joined Kristen’s new Disney comedy, You Again. The film revolves around Kristen’s character who needs to prove that her brother’s fiancée (Yustman), her high school rival, isn’t all that she’s cracked up to be.

I don’t know if Rob Thomas will change his mind in the future, but it isn’t looking so good for the VERONICA MARS movie. 

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that according to Thomas, the current economy and lack of viewer interest has hurt the chances of a big screen jump for the series. Although “both [he and star Kristen Bell] would love to do it,” the momentum on the project seems to be lost.

However, Thomas doesn’t rule out continuing MARS as a comicbook series, as long as he gets to write it. 

Fans can find a consolation prize in the fact that Bell will be guest starring on Thomas’ new show, PARTY DOWN, as a character with a similar name. She appeared in the May 22 finale as former Party Down employee Veronica Moon. 

I know you have been hearing the rumors for a long time, but this time the news about Veronica Mars movie comes direct from the horse’s mouth. Kristen Bell, who played the title role in the show that ended in 2007, has reportedly said that although she did not have any updates, the team was trying to make the movie happen. Kristen who has claimed that Veronica Mars was the most important part of her life, has also been reported as saying that she was as excited as everybody else for the project to start rolling and with everyone all ready to go, the team just needed to pull it together.

It has also been reported elsewhere, that the shows creator, Rob Thomas is working on the screen play for the movie, in keeping with the promise he made to the show’s cult fan base that he would someday bring Veronica Mars to the big screen. Seemingly, the mastermind of the show has been discussing some ideas about the direction the movie will go in, with Kristen. He has reportedly also has a couple of the plotlines or his thoughts about what he would want, set out and is getting feedback from people about the same.

Well let’s hope that this time around the Veronica Mars movie does eventually get made. We fans have been eagerly waiting for our much-loved teen-detective show to make its big return in the form of a movie. And as each new rumor raises our hopes we feel equally disappointed when there is no action following the rumor. But as they say hope is what makes life go! So let’s keep hoping that our hopes do not get dashed this time around and that millions of fans, who are eagerly waiting to see their favorite detective, Veronica Mars back in action, are not disappointed one more time!

Supposedly the creator and star of the dearly departed Veronica Mars, Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell, met last week and discussed the possibility of a Mars movie. Any such project is a long way off, Thomas cautions: “It’s very tough to focus on it right now with two pilots on my plate. But as soon as I have any free time, that’s my top priority.” We hate to throw cold water on such a delightful notion, but seriously, it’s never gonna happen.

Not that we wouldn’t watch a Veronica Mars movie; after all, despite a significant drop in quality in later seasons, the show was never less than enjoyable, and the relationship between Bell’s Veronica and her father, played by Enrico Colantoni, was one of the smartest and spikiest ever shown on TV. A Veronica Mars movie would allow Thomas to give the series the proper ending it never really had, and to tie up the loose ends its untimely finale left dangling.

But why on earth would a studio — any studio — spend the money to make a movie version of a TV show that at its best never attracted 3 million viewers? A show that in, say, the 2004–2005 season, was the 148th most popular show on television — out of 156 prime-time shows? One that hasn’t (yet) seen any of its stars break out in a major way? One that got worse and worse, not better and better, as the years went on? Rather than begging studios for the cash for a Mars movie, wouldn’t it be better if Thomas, Bell, and the crew went the Dr. Horrible route, set aside a week and $100,000, and shot a couple of mini-Mars stories for download? We’d watch those!

I used to have incredibly boring dreams. When I was younger, I would wake up in a cold sweat after having nightmares about not turning in my homework on time or having to restart my computer several times after the Web continually crashed on me. Yep, they were that bad. But now that I’m older and am lucky enough to have a job that allows me to be constantly immersed in entertainment, pop culture has been popping up in nearly all my dreams.

Last night’s was a doozy: I dreamt that I Love Money’s The Entertainer (pictured) was offering free foot massages in hopes of raising awareness about Graft versus Host disease. This dream was particularly strange, considering I haven’t looked at any of my Arrested Development DVDs in about three months, and my boyfriend is barring me from watching last Sunday’s episode of I Love Money because he’d rather see some swimmer guy win a bunch of medals at some big sports event, yadda yadda yadda. And two nights ago I dreamt I willingly entered room 1408 with John Cusack, even though I knew it was an “evil f—ing room.” And the worst part about all these dreams is that my inappropriate crush, Robert Pattinson, has yet to appear in any of them, even though I’ve willed him to hundreds of several times. Come on, work your magic, Cedric Diggory!

How about you, PopWatchers? What were some of your craziest, pop culture-centric dreams?

I finally had a chance to watch “Veronica Mars,” and I am blown away! After watching the complete first season on DVD, I now see what all the fuss is about. This show breaks many boundaries that never should have existed in the first place.

The main character is a teenager, but she is not the Bill & Ted stereotype. She is smart enough to maneuver around some of television’s smartest characters of all ages. Usually, the entertainment industry demands teenaged characters be non-threatening, always shown as inferior to older people, dim-witted and weak. Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) is a young detective who could hold her own against older fictional detectives from Sam Spade to Sherlock Holmes. Finally, Hollywood is giving young viewers what it has always given older viewers.

One of the better episodes begins with Veronica and other members of the school newspaper staff discussing possible topics to cover in the next issue. One student suggests covering the drug scene. Their journalism teacher (guest star Joey Lauren Adams) responds, “I’m sure your parents don’t want to read about drugs at the school where they send their precious little ones.”

Veronica then comments, “I thought the newspaper was for the students.”

This makes an excellent point, not only about school newspapers, but about various forms of entertainment that are ostensibly aimed at youth. TV shows for teenagers are usually created by people more concerned with pleasing the viewers’ parents than with pleasing the viewers themselves. “Veronica Mars” is not part of that problem. In many ways, it is part of the solution.

Veronica is not only smart, she is strong. Elsewhere in fiction, teenagers bow down to their elders. There was an episode of “The Simpsons,” for example, where Bart and Lisa develop super powers. How do they use their powers? Doing yard work for their parents. When Bart and Lisa finally go into battle against the villain, they get cornered and have to be rescued by an adult. That’s no different from a million other shows, movies, and novels supposedly aimed at young audiences but really showing the fantasies of adults. “Veronica Mars” is the exception. Here, the heroine bows down to no one. Veronica solves mysteries, sometimes at her father’s request, but just as often against his wishes. In either situation, she takes orders only from her own conscience. She loves and respects her father, but she is nobody’s puppet.

The creative artists behind this show respect young people, both as a subject and as an audience. With its multiple story lines and sophisticated dialogue, this show requires viewers to be smart and attentive. Entire dimensions of characters’ personalities are often revealed in one subtle line of dialogue. Many in the entertainment industry assumed a show like this could not work, that young viewers could not follow such a show. From my experience teaching high school and middle school, I can report “Veronica Mars” is quite successful with young audiences, thank you.

Another form of respect is the way this show does not try to force “good role models” and ageist “lessons” down the viewers’ throats. On any other show, if someone younger than 21 takes a sip of beer, you can be sure the episode will end with a drunk driving tragedy or some other horrifying consequence. If a female character under 18 even thinks about sex, there’s a good chance the episode will end with heartbreak as she learns the guy was just using her, or it will end with a pregnancy scare. Older characters can enjoy wall-to-wall sex and booze with no consequences, but the young must always be punished by fate if not by adults.

On “Veronica Mars,” teenagers drink alcohol as freely as older characters, and the consequences they pay are no more severe than those paid by older characters on other shows. In the pilot, Veronica Mars is raped after drinking a rum and Coke that has been drugged. But the show never portrays this as punishment for drinking; the rapist could have drugged a soft drink just as easily. In other episodes, Veronica and other teenagers drink with no problems, just like older characters.

References to drugs and sex on the show are as casual as they are in shows about older characters. Indeed, “Veronica Mars” is one of TV’s racier dramas; only high quality keeps the content from seeming like cheap titilation.

“Veronica Mars” does not pander to fretful parents. It entertains viewers young and old.

While this show does not succumb to moral double-standards, it is highly moral and Veronica is a great role model. She models self-respect. She models courage. She models working through a problem instead of just waiting to be rescued by luck. She also models responsibility.

Teenagers are usually stereotyped as ducking responsibility. Not here. Veronica Mars, for all her brilliance and sophistication, makes her share of mistakes, and she takes full responsibility for them. In one episode, a young woman accuses a teacher of sexual misconduct. Veronica joins others in assuming she is lying. The truth of his guilt is finally revealed in a scene where Veronica talks to a minor character. This character then says of the victim, “She told me the students were mostly supportive of her.”

“They weren’t,” Veronica says. Then she catches herself. “We weren’t.” She then promptly gets working on setting things right. This show tells young audiences what they have long needed to hear: that being great (cool, respectable, heroic, etc.) does not mean never making a mistake; it means admitting your mistakes and working to correct them. Veronica Mars seems to do that every week.

The next time you hear someone bellyache about how teenagers watch too much TV and don’t read enough, ask yourself this: when is the last time book publishers offered young audiences this much respect?

I took a stab at writing a Young Adult mystery novel once. It was roundly rejected by publishers, but not because of the writing quality. (Anyone who’s read a “Fear Street” novel knows literary quality is a low priority with these publishers.) Editors said my novel was “implausible” because the teenaged protagonist was “too smart.” One publisher actually cited a scene where the hero uses the word “incriminating,” insisting a real teenager would never know such a big word. (Anyone who didn’t know such big words could never follow the dialogue of “Veronica Mars,” yet millions of teenagers — and millions of pre-teenagers — watch this show religiously. I feel vindicated.)

The book Rediscovering Nancy Drew by Carolyn Dyer quotes the top editor of the modern Nancy Drew novels explaining what she seeks in a manuscript: “Do we have any scenes where the teen characters engage in teen activities? For example, do they go to the mall, eat pizza …?” Insisting fictional teenagers eat pizza is like insisting fictional blacks eat watermelons. “Veronica Mars” proudly avoids these clichés and even ridicules them. In one scene, Veronica is on the phone with her father while she’s doing detective work at her computer, and we get this dialogue:

“Don’t forget — you’re a high school girl. Do some high school girl things now and then.”
“Relax, Dad. I’m cutting pictures of Ashton out of Teen People as we speak.”

Most viewers know Veronica is not putting down teenagers who read teen magazines nor teenagers who cut out pictures. She’s gently putting down people who expect age to be the sole determinate of behavior, people who think in terms of “high school girl things” or as the Nancy Drew editor put it, “teen activities.” Finally, we have a fictitious teenager whose age is not her defining characteristic, but just one characteristic among many.

As always, much has been said here and there about the upcoming, much-anticipated season of Heroes. Thankfully, Kristin over at E! was able to throw us a bone this past week.

She confirms that former Veronica Mars star Francis Capra has signed on for at least three episodes on NBC’s hit show as a thug… with (of course) a power. Sad but as always, Kristin (nor anyone else for that matter) is keeping his power under wraps.

Many fans of Veronica Mars are excited to see Capra and former co-star Kristen Bell on the small screen again. E! does confirm that the pair will share at least one scene together.
