Dear Backers,

We’ve reached the end of pre-production. The final details are falling into place.

Over the last few days, our cast members have been meeting with the costume designers. We’re almost finished scouting locations and planning out our shots. And this afternoon — no spoilers — we’ll spend some time finalizing the stunts and special effects for an important scene. Our production team has now grown to more than 85 people, each working around the clock to bring Veronica back to life. Next week, it will be even more.

If there was time to stop and reflect, it might be hard to believe this is all happening. But there’s not time for that, because it is happening. And it starts in less than 72 hours.

Before it does, there are still a few more returning characters to announce. This time, I’m delighted to confirm that Krysten Ritter will be returning as Gia Goodman.

Despite the name of her most recent television series, Krysten couldn’t be lovelier to work with. I’m thrilled that she’ll be joining us for the movie.

From the message she passed along, I suspect she is too.
A Message From Krysten

G-G-G-Gia!!!! I'm thrilled to be reprising my role of Gia Goodman in the Veronica Mars movie!!! It's gonna be very juicy Marshmallows!!!!! AAAHHHH!!!! Forgive my over-use of exclamation points. Since you can't hear me squealing, I'm reduced to excessive punctuation. Ha!

Veronica Mars has a special place in my heart because it was my first big acting job (!!!!!!) and it was also one of the most lovely on-set experiences you could ever ask for. This will truly be an awesome shoot, not only because we all get to be reunited (can't WAIT!) but because of the revolutionary way this all was able to come to life!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Rob Thomas, Kristen Bell, Kickstarter, and most of all, to you, our AMAZING FANS, for making it happen. I'm honored to be a part of it!

With Krysten, that brings our confirmed cast up to 15 people.

Please join me in welcoming the lovely and talented Ms. Ritter back to Neptune in the comments, and find her on Twitter as @KrystenRitter.

Three days to go.

Rob Thomas
