Kristen Bell Back on Party Down, Singing in the Heathers Musical, but Unable to Reprise the Role of Veronica Mars!

Party Down fans can rejoice because Kristen Bell is probably going to be returning as her character Uda Bengt. (Kristen Bell on Party Down source) Ryan Hansen said of Bell, “I’ll drug her and drag her in, and we’ll just prop her up.”  Bell and Hansen are, of course, very good friends who actually live together. They also worked on another Rob Thomas show, you may have heard of it – VERONICA MARS??

But is a Veronica Mars movie likely? According to Kristen Bell, not very. Ausiello reports:

Question: Your lack of reporting on the Veronica Mars movie has me feeling like it’s DOA. Any news on it? — Andrew
Ausiello: Yep, but it ain’t good. At last weekend’s Saturn Awards, Kristen Bell told us, “I don’t think it will ever happen, and here’s why: [Series creator] Rob Thomas and I had a powwow, and we were both 100 percent on board. We took our proposal to Warner Bros. and Joel Silver told us that there is no enthusiasm [there] to make a Veronica Mars movie, and that is unfortunately a roadblock we cannot compete with.” But — like the rest of us, I suspect — she isn’t giving up hope. “Maybe if we bombard them with letters?” she suggests. “Maybe [then] they will change their tune.” What are you waiting for, a written invitation from Veronica Mars herself? Start bombarding Warner Bros. with letters!

I have no idea why they don’t want to give us our movie. Does Joel Silver need us to wait a million years like they did for the Buffy movie, and then have to have a different cast? No one wants that. No one! I asked everyone. Veronica Mars fans want this movie. Kristen Bell wants the movie! Kristen is what the industry would call ’super hot’ – so what are they waiting for?

Word is blessedly solid on Kristen Bell in the musical adaptation of the cult movie Heathers (Winona Ryder, Christian Slater) at least. And lots of people are liking the trailer for Couples Retreat. And while I hope Kbell does have time to eat and sleep, we need more projects!

It’s America’s birthday today., so we should get news of a VM movie today. Come on, do it for America! (And now I’m having weird flashbacks of that one scene/song in Grease 2 about doing it for your country. You know the one. No, it’s not this one.)

You people are soooo dirty on this sacred day!
