Can Rob Thomas accomplish the same feat as Joss Whedon and produce a successful feature film based on a canceled TV show? From Ask Ausiello:
The creator of Veronica Mars was sitting down with his beloved, lamented series' star, Kristen Bell, to discuss bringing the cult hit to the big screen. "Kristen and I ran into each other, and we did discuss a Veronica movie," confirms Thomas, who says he has also had "a few conversations" with Mars executive producer Joel Silver.
Whedon was able to accomplish a rare feat by completing the movie version of his short-lived show Firefly. Serenity may not have produced Harry Potter-like numbers, but it was successful. Veronica Mars has a similar cult fan base which continues to place fan videos on YouTube at an alarming rate years after it has been canceled. If Thomas does manage to get everyone on board and release this film, it would be the most anticipated film release for me in a decade.
