Quote of the Day II

Ooh I been waiting for this one! My pal Jarett over at PopWrap finally got to chat with his (our) beloved, Kristen Bell. And nobody got stuffed into a sack or nothing! That takes strength of character, y'all. But now he's got an in, as they say, so it'll only be a matter of time before I am stuffing him in a sack and pretending to be him and becoming her best friend. Naturally. Anyway, read it here. I'm posting the bit about the slim remaining sliver of a possibility for a Veronica Mars movie, because hello importantest part.

PopWrap: So I've gotta ask about "Veronica Mars." Last we heard it was DOA, still the case?

Kristen Bell: There's really no new news unfortunately. Rob Thomas wrote a treatment about a year ago, brought it to Warner Bros and they said there's no enthusiasm to make a "Veronica Mars" movie at this time. Which means, they don't think it will sell tickets -- because, let's face it, no one is going to finance a movie when they don't think they'll make money back. So it's all a matter of convincing them that people will go see it.

PW: Oh, I'd buy six tickets!

KB: I make them aware of that fact this question comes up in every single interview I do. People will see it, but it's such a small community -- what they need to realize is how fiercely loyal they are. For example, if you have a TV show that gets 10 million viewers, they think that if even half those people see the movie, they'll earn their money back. Even though we only had 3 million viewers, each and every one of them will go see it -- twice!

Meanwhile over at Cinematical, in honor of the reviews for her rom-com When In Rome being... less than stellar, let's say... they've assembled a list of seven roles (or types of roles) she oughta think about trying next. We share because we really really care, Kristen!
