Kickstarter-funded VERONICA MARS has been in and out of the news throughout its production. Initially it was uncertain if we would ever get to see the film in cinema’s in the UK. Luckily that concern has today been put to rest as it has been announced by the film’s director that it will receive a limited release in selective Showcase and Empire cinemas.

To sweeten this good news the project has also rewarded us with another couple of stills, both of which see the super sleuth detective hard at work.
The film sees Veronica (Kristen Bell) dragged back into the murky world of the private detective after high-school flame Logan (Jason Dohring) becomes a suspect in a murder enquiry. The film begins with Veronica attending her high-school reunion and the film itself will act as a reunion for the cast and crew.
The TV Show on which the film is based first aired in 2004 and, although only running for two seasons, was beloved by the many who watched it. In fact it was the fans incessant campaigning that saw the KickStarter fund rolling – amassing it’s entire target funding in less than twenty-four hours. Viewers will be pleased to hear that pretty much everyone who was in the original show will make an appearance, giving it a very nostalgic feel.
VERONICA MARS will be released 14th March in the US with a limited UK release to follow afterwards.
