Good News Everyone!

The Veronica Mars Movie Is Collecting Cast Members

by Isabella Kapur | 2:45 pm, June 10th, 2013

The Veronica Mars movie that was funded, with the most backers in the history of Kickstarter no less, back in April already had a good number of original players from the television show returning, including Kristen Bell, writer Rob Thomas, Enrico Colantoni as Veronica’s father, and Jason Dohring as Logan. Now we know that two more actors will be returning: Percy Daggs III as Wallace and Chris Lowell as Stosh “Piz” Piznarski.

People Want Female Warrior Gaming Miniatures So Much That They Funded This Kickstarter Campaign In 30 Seconds

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:04 am, June 10th, 2013

When French design studio Raging Heroes decided to crowdfund a line of highly detailed female gaming miniatures, they probably thought they’d meet their goal. $12,000 is a pretty modest amount to shoot for, after all, and they clearly put a lot of planning into the campaign. And hey, they know their figures look awesome.

They probably didn’t think they’d blow past their goal in 30 seconds, though. And yet that’s exactly what happened.

I wonder what a Professor Henry Jones Sr. tell all would be like?  As cool as old National Geographics are to look at, artists Glen Brogan makes them even cooler in his Gallery1988 show. (via Gallery1988 tumblr)

The Puppet Version of Manos the Hands of Fate Just Hit its Kickstarter Goal

by Susana Polo | 12:06 pm, May 29th, 2013

Manos: The Hands of Felt started when puppeteer Rachel Jackson made a bad pun and then decided that it had legs. Like, lots of puppety, Muppet spoofing, parodic retelling of the making of Manos: The Hands of Fate and its revival as a Mystery Science Theater 3000 mainstay legs. So she turned it into a live show, and now a DVD release of that live show has just hit its funding goal on Kickstarter. There are still five days to go in the pledge drive, though, and I feel it is my duty to remind any Torgo fans out there that they can pick up a digital download of the movie for only $5.

Things We Saw Today: The Princess Who Saved Herself

by Susana Polo | 4:59 pm, May 7th, 2013

If Jonathan Coulton and Greg Pak‘s Kickstarter gets $7k more dollars, they’ll make a comic for kids based on Coulton’s song “The Princess Who Saved Herself,” which is about a princess who convinces all the monsters that threaten her to join her rock band, as a stretch goal. I’ll just leave a link to it here. (MTV Geek, Youtube, Kickstarter)

And The Finally Tally For The Veronica Mars Movie Kickstarter Is…

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:30 pm, April 15th, 2013

It was a crazy pipe-dream Veronica Mars fans never thought would actually come true. A Veronica Mars movie is happening because of fans but we knew that ten hours after the Kickstarter launched. “WE DID IT, MARSHMALLOWS! With six hours to spare, we shattered the last record we were aiming for, passing 87,143 to become the Kickstarter with the all-time highest number of backers,” reads the Kickstarter page. Yes, they managed to raise $5,702,153 thanks to 91,585 backers. It’s now also the third highest-funded project in Kickstarter history. Creator Rob Thomas tweeted, “The movie title is going to simply be VERONICA MARS. The sequel will be VERONICA MARS: THE PASSWORD TO LOCKSPUR LANE. Or ELECTRIC BOOGALOO.” And Veronica Mars herself, Kristen Bell tweeted a minute before the close to say, “i love you all. for real. thank you.”

Personally, I can’t wait for Mars Investigations to be back in business. Next stop, SDCC, then…the world!

by Susana Polo | 2:26 pm, March 28th, 2013

Double Fine rocked the indie video game world last year when its highly successful Kickstarter funded a brand new 2D adventure game like crazy. That game is Broken Age, a twinned story between two characters, a young boy alone in space and a young girl about to be ritually sacrificed, who are “seeking to break tradition with their lives.” We’re looking forward to it, and so are all their backers, probably!

Rob Thomas Gives Actual Details On The Plot Of The Veronica Mars Movie

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:29 pm, March 21st, 2013

We were excited to hear of a Veronica Mars movie Kickstarter, thrilled when it was fully funded (and then some!), and then left to wait in horrible anticipation until it actually came to fruition. Luckily, some fine folks thought to ask creator Rob Thomas what he has in store for dear ol’ Veronica in said film and he obligingly gave a few details.
