Veronica Mars: Life in Neptune?

There have been a few reports showing up in various parts of the interweb (the main source is on Entertainment Weekly's site) giving tantalizing hints of a possibly Veronica Mars movie. When I first heard about this, I was very excited, since Firefly proved that dead TV shows can be resurrected as movies (a trend which Arrested Development looks to follow). Unfortunately, then I remembered that Serenity, despite being incredible, barely broke even at the box office. Most of the money it has made has been on DVD sales (there have been two DVD releases, it was a flagship HD-DVD release, and a Blu-ray release is upcoming).

Rob Thomas is involved with a few different shows, and Kristen Bell is working on Heroes, but it's clear that each would love to return to Neptune to finish the story of the world's cutest hard-boiled detective. There are plenty of stories that I (and many other fans) would like to see resolved, including the results of the election (though it was pretty obvious what was going to happen there), the fallout from the various attacks on The Castle, and the state of Veronica and Logan.

This story has made me temporarily happy, but I am not yet willing to believe that this movie will happen. Still, this is an interesting thing to know.

Up next: You lucky people...
