Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell and producer / director Rob Thomas were joined by the cult show’s re-united cast including Jason Dohring, Enrico Colantoni, Francis Capra, Percy Daggs III, Ryan Hansen, Tina Majorino and Chris Lowell in Hall H at Comic-Con. With only two days left of shooting for Veronica Mars: The Movie, which took the concept of Kickstarter funded filmmaking to a whole new level of success, the cast and crew presented fans with a five minute video which also contained the first trailer to the $5 million fan-funded film.

“I wanted to do an Agatha Christie movie with everyone in one house, very few sets and very few guest stars,” Thomas told the crowd during the Q&A. “And that’s not what we did. We made an incredibly ambitious, sprawling low-budget movie. We wanted to include all of those smaller parts that fans really loved.”

As of this writing over 27,000 loyal backers have thrown in more than $1,750,000 in donations to get their beloved mystery solving gang from Neptune back together. And this is just the first day. It will undoubtedly hit its goal shortly, proving for this show that the Kickstarter idea was not only a big winner, but the loyal fan base exists to support it. It makes you wonder which cult shows could also earn resurrection through fan based funding. I’m sure the floodgates have been officially blown wide open with aspirations to repeat this with other properties. My fellow Browncoats are now all in a tizzy to get Firefly in on this…

Per Rob Thomas, the perks for donating, depending on the amount you give, range from t-shirts, copies of the final film on DVD, signed movie one-sheets, personalized video greetings, recorded outgoing voicemail messages from Kristen Bell, to tickets to the red carpet premiere and after party. There are even options for super fans with a lot of expendable cash for background and featured extra roles in the movie, as well as getting a theatrical screening scheduled in your hometown.

You can check out the Kickstarter page here for all the details. With the promised interactive portions to this project, it will be fun to follow it from start to finish.
