YOU GUYZZZ!!!

The Veronica Mars Kickstarter Campaign has officially closed having raised some SERIOUZZZ cash! Exactly how much?! $5,702,153!!

Yep, Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell’s dreams of bringing VMars from the small screen to the big screen have come true — and though we’ve known this for a while, it’s worth mentioning that Team Veronica Kickstarter broke TWO records with this campaign.

Not only did they raise nearly three times their Kickstarter goal, they broke the record for highest number of backers, ending with 91,585!

Rob even teased fans with a photo of the completed script!! Eek!!! He tweeted:

There are only a few more days left on the Veronica Mars Kickstarter clock, but we already know this project has moved WAY faster than expected!

The campaign has now officially raised over $4.8 million thanks to its 73,000 backers, and creator Rob Thomas has already completed the first draft of the movie! But given the work still left to be done, Rob took to the Kickstarter page to update Marshmallows on how the extra money raised will be spent.

He explained that the original $2 million goal was the minimum amount they needed to get the film made, “but it was never going to let us make the exact movie we really wanted to make, or the one we know you deserve.”

You GUYZZ!! It just keeps getting better!

Veronica Mars showrunner Rob Thomas just shared some seriously EXCITING news!! Jason Dohring — the swoon-worthy Logan Echolls — will officially be joining the cast of the tv-show-turned-movie!!

Rob took to the VMars Kickstarter page and revealed that there are many more “favorites” to come:

“Don't worry. We're busily working on bringing your favorites into the fold. As a Veronica Mars backer, you'll be the first to know.”

Eeek!

Kristen Bell’s babydaddy Dax Shepard will also be making a cameo! Let’s hope Max Greenfield plans on heading back to Neptune, too!!

In the meantime, ch-ch-check out Rob’s script teaser (below):

MARSHMALLOWS! This Veronica Mars Kickstarter campaign is FAR from over!

Yes, you may have raised and surpassed showrunner Rob Thomas’ $2 million goal AND astounded the world Warner Bros. studio executives with your carazay fundraising skills, but there’s just one more thing the VMars team is asking of you: to join in on their “not-so-secret ambition” and break the record of most backers in Kickstarter drive history!

Currently having raised $4.4 million with close to 65,000 backers, the VMars Kickstarter is about 22,000 away from defeating Double Fine Adventure’s 87,142 total. SO CLOSE!

Rob took directly to the campaign page and added an official $1 donor level so that people can pledge the tiniest amount, receive exclusive content regarding the project, and be apart of the Kickstarter fun for next to nothing! He also promised that “there’ll be a backers-only treat tomorrow!”

Given the monster that this campaign has been, we have no doubt it'll reach this new goal! Don't U think?!

Just remember. According to Rob, "[your] love is epic." And boy, it truly is.

As promised, Veronica Mars showrunner Rob Thomas has already begun releasing behind-the-scenes footage for loyal Marshmallows!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) for a special look at VMars’ cast reactions, including that of a fresh-out-of-bed Kristen Bell and Enrico Colantoni!

We have to say, getting to see their shocked expressions was totally worth a pledge! And, like, did we mention the Kickstarter campaign is close to reaching $4 million?!?!

Though fan-raised funds will cover costs of producing the film, Warner Bros. will be backing distribution. They just couldn’t say no to this machine!

Oh and Rob recently dropped some SPOILERS as well. But we wonder what he’ll reveal next!

Marshmallows!!! Veronica Mars is totally happening with the official word from Warner Bros.!

But now for the real work… Show creator Rob Thomas has a long road ahead of him. It’s not just about making the film but making a film fans will actually like LOVE!

No room for disappointment here. No room for $3.7 million Kickstarter refunds either, HA!

Rob said a cast reunion — what most of us really want to see — is in the works:

No end in sight!

The Veronica Mars Kickstarter campaign, initiated by the show’s creator Rob Thomas, surpassed everyone’s expectations of success, including Rob’s. The Kristen Bell-fronted show's extremely loyal fan base has been waiting for the opportunity to return to Neptune, CA for far too long and have had no problem showing it, raising over $3.6 million for the film project.

Rob explains that VMars was “built by fans, so we’ll try to do our best to keep the momentum going through that.” Fans should expect to experience a very open filming process with several behind-the-scenes tweets and photos.

Better yet, the showrunner will be putting some documentary footage together for Comic-Con, sharing:
