Veronica Mars

[swo17]

Ryan Hansen, Krysten Ritter, more people you don't remember. I hope we end up having as much fun as they are.

Ryan Hansen played one of the best characters on the show.

[Perkins Cobb]

Right, I didn't mean Hansen or Ritter -- I meant the other actors mentioned therein, whom I had to look up. "Deputy Sacks"?

[domino harvey]

How could you forget Deputy Sacks, he's in like every episode

[Professor Wagstaff]

Will they bring back Sydney Poitier as Ms. Dent and then have her vanish again mid-movie?

[Perkins Cobb]

How could you forget Deputy Sacks, he's in like every episode

'Fraid I did. Hopefully that means I won't get bored if I watch the whole series again before the movie.

[domino harvey]

I rewatch all three seasons every year or so (yes, I'm one of the aforementioned season three apologists) and I just get sucked right back into it. Not every serialized show can be said to have such replay value!

[domino harvey]

Surely Ken Marino will be there too, right?

Oh yeah

Sneak Peek

This appears to have been a worthy investment.

[domino harvey]

Oh man, Mac's hair alone has sold this

[rohming]

i'm stoked on that teaser. good times will be had.

my wife and i are re-watching the series and it's a pretty potent reminder of just how damn good Bell was in it (she does the snarky/sarcastic/spunky thing so wonderfully, it hits that much more when you see how much it's a self-defense mechanism, and Bell plays the vulnerable stuff with equal aplomb). it's a shame nothing else has used her half as well--hopefully this movie will jump-start her career again and get her more good roles (or maybe Disney's Frozen will help, i dunno).

[domino harvey]

She was one-note (by design) but really great and very funny in Reefer Madness: the Movie Musical, though that was actually filmed before the show. I'm surprised no one's put her in another musical, really

[tenia]

This appears to have been a worthy investment.

Indeed.

[rohming]

in the re-watching i just ran into some retroactively surprising cameos. Jessica Chastain (!) was Sarah in "The Final Chapter" (i thought i'd seen her somewhere before i saw her in Tree of Life and Take Shelter) and Aaron Paul (Jesse from Breaking Bad) plays Eddie LaRoche, a.k.a. "The Worm," in "Silence of the Lamb."

[domino harvey]

Too bad Chastain and Paul are coincidentally in what are arguably the two worst Veronica Mars episodes, though. There's a fun "now he's a huge star" role in season three if you haven't watched it in the last couple years

Spin-off webseries also in the works

It really took a lot less time than I expected for the Veronica Mars revival to hit the "nope, don't care about that" point for me.

[domino harvey]

So this is getting a semi-wide release via AMC theatres only-- Opens March 14, PG-13

[domino harvey]

Spin-off Play It Again, Dick confirmed for eight episodes and the entire cast will be back for it, playing both their characters and themselves begrudgingly participating in a Veronica Mars spinoff

[domino harvey]

Trailer for Play It Again, Dick, premieres next Tuesday

[Perkins Cobb]

Just bring back the show or don't.

[domino harvey]

Thomas and Bell in talks about bringing Veronica Mars back for a limited run TV series

[Perkins Cobb]

Such a project would likely be years away

Not talks as in negotiations but talks as in, "Hey, that'd be cool, right?"
