Veronica Mars Series Star Still Hoping for Film Adaptation

When we last reported on the subject (back in July 2009), the chances of the teenage detective series Veronica Mars being made into a film were essentially zero.

Nothing's changed -- Warner Bros. owns the rights and has no interest in making a film -- but series star Kristen Bell tells The Hollywood Reporter that she really, really wants the film to be made, and thinks it deserves to be made, though would be open to participating in a web series.

Veronica Mars aired for three seasons on The CW (formerly UPN). Set in the wealthy coastal community of Neptune, California, the titular character, a 17-year-old apprentice private investigator, set out to solve her town's toughest mysteries. The series is available on DVD from Telemystery: Veronica Mars.
