Veronica Mars, the amazing (and sadly, cancelled) TV series about a high school detective, is currently undertaking a Kickstarter to raise $200,000 for a film.

Youre missing a very important zero from their goal.
I quite liked the show, only started watching it for Kristen Bell but it had some genuinely good moments. Im interested to see how this goes and how the movie will actually turn out.

This might actually get somewhere. Better keep an eye on it!

It's a shame pretty much all the rewards are US only. I'll probably still throw in $10 or so though, loved this show.
Pledge $10,000 or more

You will get a speaking role in the movie. Here’s the scene — Veronica is eating with the man in her life. Things have gotten tense between them. You are the waiter/waitress. You approach the table, and you say, “Your check, sir.” We guarantee you will be on camera as you say the line. Unless you go all hammy and ruin the scene and we have to cut you out, but that would be a sad day for all of us. Just say the line. Don’t over-think it. You’re a waiter. Your motivation is to turn over the table. In addition to appearing in the movie, you’ll receive a framed copy of the page of the script that includes your line. You’ll get an invitation to the premiere and the after party. You are, after all, in the movie. Think of yourself as Guy Fleegman from Galaxy Quest. People will surely want autographs. You’ll also receive the signed movie poster, the Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack, the digital version of the movie, the T-shirt and a pdf of the shooting script.
How will I ever break into show-business now?

Someone should do this for Firefly

If this succeeds, it can't hurt the chances of a Firefly kickstarter happening. Not that Joss Whedon doesn't have enough to do already.

I wonder if they'll try to forget about the third season if it goes through

This is interesting:

Twenty minutes after your post it's at $1,320,056. The question isn't now if this will be funded within thirty days, it's if it will be funded within this first 24 hours.

If it receives donations at this pace for 30 days, they could probably afford to do a trilogy of movies and at least one more new season of the show.

That's going to knock the donations up a bit as well.

Perhaps I should get around to watching this.

Adore the show, it really is one of the best of it's kind. Glad to see it looks like we'll get a movie.

Here's hoping it'll top $10m before the timer runs out.

Passed the $2m already, so I'd imagine a good few series will try this approach now.

Firefly, Blood & Chrome and Stargate Universe would all get my money...
