EEEEEEEEEFFFFF! Can you feel it people? The Veronica Mars movie is coming, and today the VM team released the new Veronica Mars movie trailer / featurette to stoke the fire! Watch it and then prepare to celebrate!
Now, as a $50 contributor to the Kickstarter campaign that got this off the ground, you would think I would have been invited to some kind of sneak preview screening of this trailer in Hollywood. But I believe, due to a minor clerical error, that Rob Thomas must have accidentally left me off the list. No worries, I was able to track it down, and watch it repeatedly so I could bring you this breaking report.
5 RQ things I love about the new Veronica Mars trailer:
1. Logan-centric mystery: Sure, everyone was weened on the Lily Kane murder case in season 1, and it was a real shame that all those kids died in season 2, but let’s get right down to it: neither plot line allowed for enough Veronica-Logan time. And season 3? How could we possibly focus on Logan with Piz hanging around, and the professor/murderer sporting such an atrocious wig? Now that Logan has been accused of the crime, the potential for Logan-related shenanigans is limitless! Logan being a smart-ass to the authorities! Logan lifting weights in jail! Logan and Veronica packed tightly together in a trunk as they attempt to sneak over the Mexican border!
2. Pizz’s new hair: Stosh finally looks like a grown man with his Jacob-style fuzzy-cut. I will no longer confuse him for a muppet or member of a boy band.
Goodbye this:
This haircut brought to you by the letter Bieb
3. Amoral Private Eye Vinnie Van Lowe is back! Look for him to throw the wrench into the works, and say grossly inappropriate things to Veronica, hopefully in dad Keith’s presence!
You know I’m friends with Pauly D, right?
4. Dick is still a gloriously irredeemable dirtbag! He burps, calls Veronica ‘Ronnie,’ and insinuates he was expecting a prostitute all within about 4 seconds! Think about how much dirtbag he can cram into an entire movie! Dick and Logan are roommates, so I sense a further deepening of their ‘bromance for the ages.’ (Also, love to see Ryan Hansen call Logan a “heart throb.”)
5. At 02:37, this happens!
Who doesn’t love a dance party?? Especially when it involves Wallace and Pizz making hilarious faces, and hopefully ends being busted up by either Jerry O’Connell’s Sheriff Lamb (the younger) or a very intoxicated Logan – or both!
.
And because October 29th marks National Cat Day (this is a real thing), we have some bonus RQ love! Quick shot of Veronica and Logan’s first kiss (at 2:02): Still makes me weak in the knees! Here it is in all it’s 2004 glory:
Oh yeah, and one other thing. . .
Here’s the one thing that bugs me: none of them seem to have aged. Makes me think the next mystery to solve is what is in Neptune’s drinking water. (Rob, it just so happens I have script treatment for this. I’ll try to catch up to you on the red carpet to discuss. $50 donors get to attend the premiere, right?)
What about you? What sound did you make when learned this trailer had been released? What was your favorite part? Do you like Mac’s hair? Is Team Piz/Logan starting to grow on you?
