I'm not sure I agree with Warner Bros. making a lot of money off this money, but I am excited that there's going to be a movie. I work at DISH with a few people who feel the same way, we're even planning to re-watch the TV show. It's available for rent from Blockbuster @Home through DISH, which has over 100,000 titles to choose from, so we can always find what we're looking for, and it will be easy for us to re-watch Veronica Mars.

It's important to remember that every single one of the 90k "investors" are getting not only the film orf their dreams made (against the studios previous recommendation) but also rewards, like signed posters, t-shirts, premiere tickets and all that (depending on how much you pledged). Not that they wouldn't finance it even if there were no rewards, but it's important to remember that there was so and fans are getting their souveniers along with the final chapter (?) of the VMars saga 🙂 Well done! I hope Chris Carter can convince Fox's executive to finance a third X_Files film, otherwise I'd gladly pay for it through Kickstarter (or wtv). That second film was just terrible and we – the fans – deserve a better ending to an amazing tv show.

This is freedom of choice in action, the fans want VM so they get it. If WB benefits then so be it. The fans overrode a handful of development execs sitting in offices in Burbank, that's good thing!

Bands have been doing this for awhile. They get their fans to give them money to produce their next record, then said fans get a copy when they are done while the band goes on to sell more and make money for themselves. Win win.

The "Veronica Mars" Kickstarter Campaign is proactive as far as I am concerned, especially when the majority of people feel art isn't worth paying for, and stealing it is just as good. At least the artists will be paid and they owe it to the fans to make a good movie, not the studio.

The Veronica Mars series ended with a cliffhanger for the fans and finally we get resolution. The fans are getting their rewards and the movie. Who knows if the stars align and the movie has wide range appeal maybe a sequel, but for now we get our conclusion!

So many movies that fans want to get made simply don't get made. A studio will always make a movie if they think they can make money, and rarely ever if they think they won't.

It is a sort of pandora's box, but arguments against the 'Veronica Mars' kickstarter campaign feel like arguments that happened in 1994 against the Internet in general.
