Neptune Rising: Could a "Veronica Mars" Movie Be in the Works?

Yes, that is the squealing of millions of fanboys and girls you hear.

Just when I thought that my love for Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas couldn't increase, I learned one tiny little thing that made my heart surge: he and Kristen Bell have begun conversations about possibly developing a feature film version of Veronica Mars.

Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello
has the scoop about the possible feature, which is said to be in the early stages of discussion. "Kristen and I ran into each other, and we did discuss a Veronica movie," Rob Thomas confirmed to Ausiello. "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."

Wowzers. Though with Thomas currently waiting to learn the fate of the two drama pilots waiting for a pickup at ABC (Cupid and my favorite, Outrageous Fortune), it might be a while before Thomas is free to pursue a feature version of everyone's favorite blonde sleuth.

Personally, I'd rather the duo reunite for a six-episode Veronica Mars limited series than begin the arduous process of bringing a two-hour Veronica feature film to fruition but I'll take any Neptune-related goings-on with much appreciation.

Stay tuned.

This news just made my week. I think it's a great idea and hope that Rob and Kristen and the whole cast can get together and get this going soon..
Kristen Bell deserves to be on the big screen! She was fantastic in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I'd love to see her slide back into the (gum)shoes of Veronica Mars.
