Ryan Hansen Set for VERONICA MARS Movie

Aside from Kristen Bell and Enrico Colantonie joining the VERONICA MARS film, today's announcement should come as the least surprising.

Ryan Hansen, who appeared in the original Kickstarter pitch video, has officially signed on for the for the crowd-funded film, Rob Thomas announced last night.

Hansen played Dick Casablancas, Logan Echolls' best friend and surfing partner on the series.

Other cast members to have signed deals are Kristen Bell, Enrico Colantoni, Jason Dohring, Percy Daggs III, Chris Lowell, Tina Majorino, Francis Capra, Amanda Noret, Daran Norris, and Sam Huntington.

When the Kickstarter project began in March, Thomas outlined a portion of the film's potential plot, writing:

"Life has taken Veronica away from Neptune. In the years since spoiling Keith's chances to be reelected sheriff, Veronica hasn't taken a case. But something big is about to bring her back home and back to her calling. My goal is to include as many of your favorite characters as possible. It is, after all, time for Veronica's 10-year high school reunion."

The kickstarter raised over $5.7 million - thanks to the show's Cult following, the film hit its goal of $2 million in just half-a-day into the one-month deadline.

Production will kick off on Monday.

VERONICA MARS followed the smart, wise-cracking high school student who has a penchant for solving mysteries, while helping her father with his struggling P.I. agency. Despite his warnings, Veronica's determined to uncover the biggest mystery of all: who killed her best friend and created a Scandal that cost her father his job, his home and his wife - and turned Veronica into an outcast at school.
