Veronica Mars Movie: 5 Reasons
Dear Warner Bros.:
Here are five reasons to make a Veronica Mars movie.
1. Loveable, flawed heroine
“You don’t want to date me. I’m a train wreck.” VM # 1.19.
Who wouldn’t want to date the cute, smart, funny Veronica Mars? Sure, she’ll break up with a guy and then turn around and ask him for a favor, but only in the interest of seeing justice served. As guy pal Wallace said, underneath the tough exterior, she’s a marshmallow.
2. Audience appeal
“This face. Right here. My over the moon face.” VM # 2.17.
Veronica was sarcastically referring to an upcoming Sadie Hawkins dance that she would be attending solo, but 22,000+ fans are dead serious in their enthusiasm to see a Veronica Mars movie and 168,000+ people listed Veronica Mars as one of their favorite shows on Facebook.
3. Someone to write the script
“Garden State was never a book.”
“It wasn’t? Whoops. So much for that paper.” VM # 3.10.
Veronica Mars creator and writer Rob Thomas said he is ready to write the Veronica Mars movie as soon as Warner Bros. gives the green light.
4. Star power
“Did anyone ever tell you you look like a feisty young Barbara Eden?” VM # 3.17.
Not only is the lead actress Kristen Bell ready and willing to take the part, she has said she would finance the film.
5. Universal themes
Family – “Who’s your daddy?” VM # 1.1 and 1.22.
Friendship – “What did you ever do before you met me?”
“Ever see the first ten minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey? It was a lot like that.” VM # 1.18.
Justice – “Man had good taste. Let’s honor him by putting his killer behind bars.” VM # 3.13.
Death – “Just thinking if I was going to get drunk and shoot myself, I’d probably drink the good stuff first.” VM # 3.10.
LoVe – “I thought our story was epic, you know? You and me . . . Spanning years and continents. Lives ruined. Bloodshed. Epic.” VM # 2.20.
If this isn’t enough to convince you, release the film rights to creator Rob Thomas and lead actress Kristen Bell so that they can make the movie instead.
“The world is ready for you, Veronica Mars. You are not a yellow cotton dress. You’re red satin. You are strapless red satin.” VM # 1.4.
