Kristen Bell
Rob Thomas. the creator of cult television show Veronica Mars, has revealed that a movie could be very close.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly he said: "I'm preparing the pitch now - literally now. I hope to go in and talk to [executive producer] Joel Silver and [Warner Bros.] in the next week or two to see if they're interested.
"They will want to consider [the pitch], look at some numbers - whatever it is people on the business side do - and then they'll give me some sort of response.
"Then, if they want to move forward, there's the deal-making that'll need to go on."
The show starred Kristen Bell, in a role propelling her to fame, as a student who becomes a private investigator. The show ran from 2004 to 2007 and was axed despite pleas from fans to continue.
Back in January Thomas said that he was working on a big screen version of the show saying in an interview with iFMagazine: "My writing the movie is half the battle. Someone else has to pay for it. Joel Silver does have a certain pile of money.
"He called on me saying 'Can we do this now?' Kristen wants to do it. Joel wants to do it and I want to do it. For me, that’s the next project."
