So, I may or may not have shrieked with joy and done the Happy Hamster Hop when I saw this had arrived in the mail today (and then dashed inside and immediately watched it…homework, what homework?). This film is the first (and, thus far, only) thing I’ve ever backed on Kickstarter, and it was a great investment. I learned quite a lot, and listening to people talk about my favorite comic ever is a great way to spend an hour and a half. I enjoyed this film immensely.

Another great backer story. What’s yours? Share it with us here.

I’m already excited for the return of Veronica Mars in big-screen format but this latest stunt by Ryan Hansen (aka Dick Casablancas) somehow managed to escalate that excitement even further. Check out Bell and Hansen’s awesome dance moves in this video.

ps- Anyone else recognize the Microsoft breakdancer or SYTYCD runner-up, Cyrus?

Production on Veronica Mars has begun. Excitement is high!

widefactory:

The artist Rob Loukotka created this Poster of 126 gadgets, explosives and items by The ACME Corporation. For all of you who don’t know what The ACME Corporation is, it’s a fictional corporation from the cartoon “Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner”, which means he had to watch every single episode for being able to draw these poster.

He launched a project on Kickstarter in hope to get the money he would need to print this poster. His goal was $ 3’000 and what he got from the 3’042 backers was the incredible amount of $ 105’083!
A huge amount for a great poster which makes people feel nostalgic and bring them back to this classic cartoon!

Here’s the link to Kickstarter for the details on the project.

“You shouldn’t dream your film, you should make it! If no one hires you, use the camera on your phone and post everything on YouTube. A young person has more opportunities to direct now than in my day. I’d have liked to begin making movies today.”
