Battleship got funded by the studio system. IJS.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's not as if Thomas hasn't been pitching this movie to Hollywood for the past few years.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Of course, Warner Bros. still owns Veronica Mars and we would need their blessing and cooperation to pull this off. Kristen and I met with the Warner Bros. brass, and they agreed to allow us to take this shot. They were extremely cool about it, as a matter of fact. Their reaction was, if you can show there’s enough fan interest to warrant a movie, we’re on board.
So what happens to the Kickstarter funds if WB turns around and decides not to give their blessing and cooperation?
(Having seen some of the behind-the-scenes stuff for running a Kickstarter, I am now politely skeptical about all of them.)

$1 million, and we still don't know who the new pope is.

No clue on the pope thing, but I called the "before I go to lunch thing", anyway.

Fastest to a million in Kickstarter history. Move over, Amanda Palmer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They don't get collected? If Rob's responsible, can't he order things that way?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The FAQ says:
Q: Where is my money going?
A: All funds will go into a Veronica Mars Movie Project production account which has been set up by Warner Bros. on our behalf.
So it sounds like WB is officially on board.
