 Yes, we’ve heard rumors of a Veronica Mars movie before, but now the news is coming from a reputable source (Entertainment Weekly) and involves quotes from the show’s creator Rob Thomas.
The Ausiello Files on EW.com says that Rob Thomas plans to work on a Mars movie as soon as time allows. Currently, he’s working on two TV pilots for ABC, but of the Veronica Mars movie he says,
As soon as I have any free time, that’s my top priority.
Star Kristen Bell (at right) has spoken before about wanting to do a movie.
Enrico Colantoni, who played Keith Mars on the show, also spoke to EW (and others) recently and said he would absolutely love to do a Mars movie (he’s currently on the totally awesome sniper show Flashpoint, CBS, Thursday at 10pm).
As a fan who was unfortunate enough to miss the series until it had already been canceled, I’d love the chance to join in the Veronica-mania if a movie finally gets made.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall star Kristen Bell spoke with The New York Daily News about auditioning for the role, and playing Sarah Marshall without making her a bitch. She said Jason Segel wrote the part without making Sarah Marshall the bad guy - he gave the audience a chance to like her, even though she dumped our main character.
She also talks about filming the opening nude scene with Jason Segel. She says that Segel was naked for a full two days of shooting and that,
At one point, there was a nylon sock involved,” Bell says. “That just drew more attention to the situation, so we ditched it.
She also talks about the scene in which Show Spoilers
Sarah Marshall’s show Crime Scene gets canceled and how they filmed that scene two weeks after Bell’s real-life show Veronica Mars was canceled. Bell says,
I was definitely coming from a place of being saddened about ‘Veronica Mars’ and a truthful place of ‘What is my next job going to be?

 Ok, so it’s only a lot of talk from Mars star Kristen Bell, but even the fleeting suggestion that there might be a chance for fans to see Veronica in action again makes my heart all a-flutter. And I only caught the show once it was over and on DVD.
MovieHole’s interview with Kristen goes over her time on Veronica Mars, her voiceover work on Gossip Girl, and the potential Veronica Mars movie.
When asked about the movie rumor she says, “I’ve heard the same thing. I know that Rob Thomas holds Veronica Mars so dear to his heart. He did for five or six years, ten years almost, before he even wrote it as a pilot.”
She also says that she’s game for it, whenever Thomas has the time. I’m sure Percy Daggs III (aka Wallace Fennell) would be in too, considering he’s now doing Orbit commercials.

The semi-clever posters for Forgetting Sarah Marshall are upsetting some New Yorkers. The New York Daily News is reporting that several real-life Sarah Marshalls are upset over the posters with text like, “My mom always hated you Sarah Marshall” and “You DO look fat in those jeans Sarah Marshall.”
One Sarah Marshall says, “When you’re walking down the street, it gets a little wearing even though you know it’s not you and has nothing to do with you.”
One perturbed Sarah Marshall says, “I have to worry about my hair and makeup everyday.” What I want to know is, how does she think people on the street know her name is Sarah Marshall?
Another Sarah Marshall received a call from an ex-boyfriend telling her he didn’t know who was doing this, but he wanted her to know it wasn’t him. He must not have seen the MPAA rating information at the bottom, or have gone to the promotional website IHateSarahMarshall.com.
Luckily for these annoyed Sarah Marshalls, the movie (starring Jason Segel and Kristen Bell) hits theaters April 18th.

Judd Apatow officially disowned Drillbit Taylor in a press conference on Wednesday, March 19th. According to Rope of Silicon, Apatow received a producing credit on the film, but claims to have nothing to do with the movie creatively. The producing credit was, “just a courtesy.”
During the press conference Apatow explained his change of heart:
When I was originally pitched the concept I was told it would be funny and there would be plenty of senseless homeless man on high school bully violence. Unfortunately that is not what we got. On top of that there are no dick jokes and the word ‘f***’ isn’t uttered once. I mean, ‘f***’ is funny! This movie isn’t.
He then goes on to say,
However, Forgetting Sarah Marshall was all my idea and I wish Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller the best of luck. I am glad I could help them make such a great movie.
Apparently Judd Apatow has a similar sense of humor as myself. While the commercials for Drillbit Taylor have left me bored, I’ve been anxiously awaiting Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Incidentally, the tagline for Drillbit Taylor is “You Get What You Pay For.” Hmmm…indeed.
Taylor stars Owen Wilson and a bunch of unknowns and will be in theaters March 21st, 2008. Forgetting Sarah Marshall stars Jason Segel and Kristen Bell and will be in theaters April 18th, 2008.
Head over to Rope of Silicon to read about the studio’s reaction to Apatow’s statements.

I’ve been excited about Forgetting Sarah Marshall since I heard Jason Segel wrote it, and then I was even more excited after seeing the red band trailer. The posters coming out now for the movie are fantastic. Check out a few below, and then check out the bus stop posters and bus-side posters in San Francisco that /Film captured.
 Forgetting Sarah Marshall stars Jason Segal ( How I Met Your Mother) and Kristen Bell ( Veronica Mars) and will be in theaters April 18th, 2008.

 As someone who just started watching “Veronica Mars” on DVD, I can say that Kristen Bell is infectiously adorable. Needless to say, I’m excited to see her in the upcoming Forgetting Sarah Marshall (of which the trailer looks hilarious) as the ex-girlfriend who has moved on, and now she’ll be starring in the romantic comedy When In Rome.
Rope of Silicon has more of the details on the plot, which includes Bell’s character stealing magic coins from a fountain in Rome. I’d say it sounds cheesy, but compared to a teenage private detective investigating her best friend’s murder (which is fantastic), it’s not that far-fetched.
No release date yet, but Rope of Silicon says it should start shooting in April.
