During the Veronica Mars: From Small Screen to Silver Screen panel at the Austin Film Festival on Saturday the series’ creator Rob Thomas and star Chris Lowell (Piz) revealed new footage from the upcoming movie.
The video clip, which was first shared with the movie’s Kickstarter backers, confirms Veronica and Piz are living in New York City and dating when Logan is arrested for murder which prompts Veronica to return to private investigating to help him.
“Logan’s pull is too much for her, always,” Kristen Bell explains in the featurette. “So she decides she’ll go back to Neptune.”
Thomas also discussed the benefits and difficulties of the Kickstarter campaign during the AFF panel. The Veronica Mars campaign was the third highest-funded project in Kickstarter history. Thomas said he would be open to trying it again with a second movie. “If it’s successful, maybe we can be the low-budget James Bond,” he said.
