In 2004, Rob Thomas spear headed a new drama for the close-to-failing UPN Network. Named after the lead charcater, Veronica Mars was a modern-day Nancy Drew following up on campus crimes with the help of her PI father. The critics loved the show and it developed a loyal fan following, due mostly to the charm of Kristen Bell who played the title roll.
Bell managed to find that perfect place between female empowerment and vulnerable. She was smart and she knew how to take care of herself but never in a super hero kind of way. She was relatable, as were the people around her.
Veronica Mars made the jump to The CW when UPN and The WB merged, but it was a short lived victory. Ever since the show's cancelation in 2007, the fans have been looking for away to bring Veronica back. While a new show is unlikely, a movie is a real possibility and that's where Neptune Rising comes in. This group of fans is dedicated to keeping this new hope alive.
Though the site hasn't been updated in the past month, the group is has a new Twitter and it's rapidly gaining a following.
Bringing a fan favorite back as a movie, even a direct to DVD movie is a great option for studios that want to capitlize on the buzz without investing in a series. And due to the mystery nature of this series, a movie would be easy to craft and follow up on, should the film become a success.
