Kristen Bell Keeps Fighting For The Unlikely Veronica Mars Movie

 

Once upon a time, Veronica Mars was very high on my list of things to catch up on. But so much time has passed since the series left the airwaves that I no longer feel the urge to devour those DVD sets, certainly not when I still have to start watching Breaking Bad. (I know, I know.)

Still, Mars has its fans, many of whom are hoping to see the series live on through a cinematic adaptation — an adaptation that’s unlikely to come to fruition anytime soon, as Kristen Bell recently told E! Online that Warner Bros. is skeptical of the potential film’s prospects.

“I wish I had news,” she said. “Still in the process of campaigning to tell Warner Bros. that people would actually see it. I think that as long as you guys keep asking those questions and I keep answering them, Warner Bros. will one day get the picture that everybody does want it and that it will make its money back. I think, truthfully, they’re a company and they want to know that they’ll make their return back. We just have to convince them that they will.”

Honestly, I understand where Warner Bros. is coming from. Veronica Mars isn’t exactly the freshest corpse in the television graveyard and Bell herself isn’t a box office knockout, so there’s no guaranteeing that a Mars movie makes any kind of financial success for the WB. While it certainly seems that Bell is trying her best, I almost think she would be doing fans a greater service by shoveling that last bit of dirt on the coffin, moving on and letting Veronica rest in peace.

What do you guys think? Are you still holding out hope for a Veronica Mars movie or has too much time passed?
