Why Fark, Drudge and Huffington when you can Buzz!?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.
Seriously.
The impromptu powwow took place last week in the offices of Thomas’ Hollywood-based production company, which just so happens to be located on the same lot where Bell is shooting Heroes. “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.
“It’s very tough to focus on it right now with two pilots on my plate,” adds Thomas, referring to his two ABC projects, a reworking of his ’90s dramedy Cupid and an adaptation of the New Zealand series Outrageous Fortune. “But as soon as I have any free time, that’s my top priority.”
For her part, Bell considers it a “major compliment” that people are still interested in Mars. “[Fans] still ask me all the time if the show’s coming back. Emotionally, I don’t want to think about Veronica Mars every day because it really does make me sad.”
