 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.

 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.
