#Gawker kickstarter movie#
This movie has been a dream of mine ever since the series ended back in 2007. Maryland fan Matt Clipp typified the eager contributors, writing: "I am MORE than happy to donate $100 to this project. They will get the movie they craved, as well as the proud feeling of having played an essential role in the show's resurrection.
The wide majority of "Veronica Mars" fans couldn't care less.
Were donating fans spurring a goliath to action, or its unwitting pawns? The money given by the fervent fans of "Veronica Mars," which starred Kristen Bell as a teenage private eye, will go not to a filmmaker operating on his own, but one with the distribution and marketing muscle of a very large corporation - just one that hadn't previously been convinced to bankroll a "Veronica Mars" film. It's a studio project, owned by Warner Bros., which produced the show. Films had found much-needed financial support on Kickstarter before, but "Veronica Mars" is different. The resounding, immediate success of the crowd-funding campaign sent shockwaves through the movie business. It's surpassed $3.7 million with more than two weeks still to go. It met its stated goal of raising $2 million in less than 11 hours, meaning it would be greenlit to begin shooting this summer. Thomas last week launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a movie of his cult TV show, which was canceled after three seasons in 2007.
