Veronica Mars fans unite! Kristen Bell took to Twitter and in a series of posts revealed that fans of Veronica Mars will need to show "enthusiasm" if they want to see a big screen adaptation of the cult favorite.

She wrote:

VM movie fans – Rob (Thomas) and I took it to WB (Warner Brothers) – and they said, "There is no enthusiasm" to make it. So fans have to convince WB! Rob and I are in!”

#1 you guys all rule. my guess would be the best rout is anywhere warner brothers asks 4 feedback- you guys write we want the VM movie.

Ive told em i want to so bad- i think they dont think it will make any money so they want to be sure people will see it. big business. ugh.

i think letters to warner brother will help. its the film side i think thats different than the WB tv side.

Since Veronica Mars ended Bell has been a busy girl. She provides the voice over for Gossip Girl, appeared on Heroes and last summer's Forgetting Sarah Marshall and will star opposite Josh Duhamel in upcoming When in Rome.

Baywatch the Movie, a Comedy?


This just in. Variety is reporting that Baywatch is coming to the big screen, as a comedy. No mention is made of whether or not David Hasselhoff, Yasmine Bleeth or Pamela Anderson would appear in the film. 

"It felt like the template to do a movie that was similar to 'Stripes' and 'Police Academy,' the comedies I loved growing up," Garelick said. "Rather than trying to pitch the tone, I figured it would be easier to write the first act to convey who these characters were," Garelick said.

There may have been things to laugh at when watching Baywatch, but I never thought of it as a "broad comedy."  It will be interesting to see how this project develops.

Should a Baywatch movie be a drama or a comedy?
