I'm still holding out because they won't ship the pledge rewards to Canada.

I suspect a Glader could help you out there if necessary.

So can http://www.myus.com - I'm just debating whether I want to create an account with them. (It'd be useful for a bunch of things.)

You will get a speaking role in the movie. Here’s the scene — Veronica is eating with the man in her life. Things have gotten tense between them. You are the waiter/waitress. You approach the table, and you say, “Your check, sir.” We guarantee you will be on camera as you say the line. Unless you go all hammy and ruin the scene and we have to cut you out, but that would be a sad day for all of us. Just say the line. Don’t over-think it. You’re a waiter. Your motivation is to turn over the table. In addition to appearing in the movie, you’ll receive a framed copy of the page of the script that includes your line. You’ll get an invitation to the premiere and the after party. You are, after all, in the movie. Think of yourself as Guy Fleegman from Galaxy Quest. People will surely want autographs. You’ll also receive the signed movie poster, the Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack, the digital version of the movie, the T-shirt and a pdf of the shooting script.


BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

That reward level was filled almost immediately. (They had a limit of one.)

I am soooo happy.

Like Firefly, I got into this wonderful show long after it had already been cancelled.

Like Firefly, it would seem I'm going to get some closure at some point.

I don't care about the content at all, but anything that could break the movie-house monopoly is my friend.

I was reading this again and saw that WB was "helping" with distribution. I wonder if that means that non kickstarters would have to wait 5-9 months for DVDs and digital downloads.

Thirty-day target of $2 million, and they raised $2.6 million after one day.

I really hope this entire experiment works out, I would love for fans to be able to fund their creators more obscure properties, since most of what we're seeing today is crappy remakes and the same thing over and over again.

Something about voluntarily wanting to have Dax Shepard's kid makes me not like Kristen Bell?

I'm not entirely sure how a dark comedy/procedural drama really translates to a movie. I'll surely see it in some form or fashion if it gets made, but Veronica Mars isn't exactly a "movie" property.

As for funding a season of any TV series: The only way that happens is if it's online, which, in the specific case of Firefly, given the rise in stardom of Nathan Fillion and Morena Baccarin, I seriously doubt will happen.

More importantly, the rise in stardom of Joss Whedon.


Anyway, I could totally see this made into a movie. It is, after all, based in part on every film noire private eye story ever told on the silver screen. If only we could clone Humphry Bogart...

What he said makes perfect sense. He'd love to do it but tbh he's moved on (at least for the foreseeable future. )

Almost halfway through and they've got almost double the required funding.
