VIDEO: VIDEO: Behind-the-Scenes of VERONICA MARS Kickstarter Launch

The VERONICA MARS film project is now the fastest Kickstarter campaign to ever hit $1 million, reaching half of its $2 million goal in just a few hours. After years of wanting, wishing, and begging with Warner Brothers, Kristen Bell and series creator Rob Thomas will finally bring the Cult noir icon to the big screen. Below, get a behind-the-scenes look as the cast and creative team react to the staggering results on The Day the kickstarter campaign was launched!

Thomas explained earlier in March, "Of course, Warner Bros. still owns Veronica Mars and we would need their blessing and cooperation to pull this off. Kristen and I met with the Warner Bros. brass, and they agreed to allow us to take this shot. They were extremely cool about it, as a matter of fact. Their reaction was, if you can show there's enough fan interest to warrant a movie, we're on board."

Bell added her own plea to fans of the show, "I am currently the happiest blonde in a hamster ball the world has ever seen. We have been waiting so long to make this movie dream a movie reality, and it's because of YOUR commitment, YOUR persistence, that we finally have a chance. We just have one more step to go.
