As hardcore fans know, the plot of the upcoming Veronica Mars film finds Veronica “getting pulled back into this life that she thought she had left behind,” series creator and movie mastermind Rob Thomas told fans during Friday’s Comic-Con panel, which also featured a sneak peek at the flick.
But what even the toastiest Marshmallow may not know is that it’s ex-boyfriend Logan who says, “I need your help, Veronica.” Her reply: “I don’t really do that anymore.” Yeah… that’s not going to fly.
LoVe ‘shippers will be happy to know the two share plenty of screen time in the preview, which showed them riding in Logan’s car and talking in someone’s (Veronica’s?) digs. But the scene that will make fans squeal the most? The guys of the film – Logan, Dick, Piz, Weevil, etc. – wearing soaking wet dress shirts and marching forward.
Other highlights from the sizzle reel included: Madison tauntingly asking Veronica if she’s going to taze her, until V finally punches her enemy and quips, “Original enough for you?”; True Lies star Jamie Lee Curtis (!) reeling off the P.I.’s accomplishments; and a Neptune High reunion fight that prompts Piz to remark that the school “actually does sit on a hellmouth.” (Way to earn some points with that Buffy reference!) Oh, and Weevil’s married!
The panel discussion — in which Thomas was joined by stars Kristen Bell, Enrico Colantoni, Ryan Hansen, Jason Dohring, Tina Majorino, Chris Lowell, Percy Daggs III and Francis Capra — revealed a (Neptune) pirate’s plunder of goodies. Among them:
HAPPY REUNION | The film “has a Godfather III theme to it,” shared Thomas, who wasn’t worried about balancing fan expectations with his own desires. “I think the story that I wanted to tell is the one I think fans wanted to see. I wanted to get the old gang back together.”
‘SHIPPER WARS | Lowell sported a “Team Logan” shirt, while Dohring’s said “Team Piz.” “I wore this shirt today so I wouldn’t be shot when I stepped on stage,” joked Lowell. The actor added that when Thomas announced Piz’s inclusion in the film, Lowell’s reaction was, “The death threats have almost stopped. Why now?!”

Ha! XD
ReplyDeleteToo funny!! I loved Lowell talking about the death threats!
I'm very much looking forward to more of Mars adventures and the return of some characters I have truly missed seeing on my TV!!
LOL, I like Lowell, even if I found Piz boring and unnecessary. I can't wait for this movie!
ReplyDeleteI liked Piz until he started dating veronica. I really hope that they end the movie with her beginning with Logan.
ReplyDeleteLowell is such a sport!
ReplyDeleteSome good stuff in there... must check out to see if I can find the sizzle video...
The cast have such a passion for this, so incredible - special. I can't wait for this movie, can you imagine the DVD extra's for this thing? UGH they need to make more movies, I'd donate another $25 for another movie.
ReplyDeleteEverything about this movie has been amazing from the start. I love how much fan interaction there is and especially how happy and grateful everyone seems to be doing it. I would love to see this hit huge and spark a series of movies.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I think that if they launched a Kickstarter campaign for it right now, they would raise even more money.
ReplyDeleteI can see them/the WB either making another one/trilogy or bringing the show back online, or dare I say it on the CW? Tho i would prefer a Netflix deal or some kind of mini 13 episode series.
ReplyDeleteNetflix would be perfect since they have gotten a lot of Veronica Mars hits lately. I don't think they will be heading to the CW. Not really the vibe they seem to be going these days although it is the right demo for them now. We'll have to see how the movie opens. Hopefully it will be awesome and there will be all kinds of options to keep Veronica Mars alive.
