The series "Veronica Mars" (2004-2007) is a popular detective film adaptation, which we remembered thanks to the unique Kristen Bell and her colorful role. This youth thriller gathered millions of fans around the world, where fans imitated the famous heroine Veronica Mars and the image of a young detective. Despite the fact that the serial film lasted only three years, he was able to leave a pleasant aftertaste.
Story line
The story tells of a young girl Veronica Mars. She studies in high school, and helps her father in her free time. The young beauty has non-standard concerns - instead of household chores, actress Kristen Bell helps her father Keith in investigations. The Mars family has a main goal - to find out who killed Veronica's best friend - Lily. Due to the fateful event, the girl's life went downhill when she lost a person close to her.
The viewer sees that an attractive girl leads an alienated life, trusting neither friends nor acquaintances. She should not betray herself, because Veronica is a minor. Because of what often gets into tragic situations, such as rape or getting into a gangster group.
Director's work
For many actors, the series "Veronica Mars" was the beginning of a successful career. For example, directors and producers really liked Amanda Seyfried, so today every second person is familiar with this beautiful girl in films such as Third Extra 2, Les Miserables, Dear John and Twin Peaks 2017.
A film adaptation was born under the auspices of Rob Thomas, who is the creator, and screenwriter, and director of the project. Surprisingly, in the series "Veronica Mars" actors playing an important role, at least ten. Due to the fact that the main composition was large, the work on the film was painstaking and difficult for all three seasons.
So inspiring Kristen Bell
Hollywood actress Kristen Bell got a role in the famous series thanks to her talent. More than 500 girls who actively tried to please the creator of the series "Veronica Mars" claimed the place. Rob Thomas has repeatedly noted in his interviews that Kristen attracted him with her firm, harsh and bold character. In his opinion, this was exactly what the main character of the film adaptation should have been.
Veronica Mars is a purposeful girl who always achieves her goal. She is not afraid of defeat; she easily encounters problems face to face. In life, nothing attracts a girl like detective investigations. Unfortunately, all the actions of the Mars family only lead to problems, because the more they learn, the more risky it is to be in their small town. Veronica was able to uncover the mystery of the murder of her friend, searched for a mother for a long time, became a detective after school, weaves love affairs and makes new acquaintances (fatal, dangerous and successful).
Mysterious Kristen Ritter
In the series "Veronica Mars" the actors and roles are perfectly matched. This is not surprising, because the creator himself conducted all the castings, watching each applicant. It so happened that Kristen Ritter, the mysterious star of the show Breaking Bad, played Jia Goodman, a classmate of the detective’s daughter. Despite the fact that Kristen had a minor role (the girl is the daughter of Woody Goodman, who is the mayor of a small town), she was remembered by all fans. Today, the work of the actress can be watched in films such as "Big Eyes", "Shopaholic" and "Once Upon a Time in Vegas".
Sexy Jason Doring
The actor of the series "Veronica Mars" played the role of Logan Ackles - the guy of the deceased Lily. Initially, the viewer sees that this guy is modest and gentle, but later the essence of the character is revealed in an amazing way. First, he begins to manage the local “sixes,” and after the death of his beloved, he learns terrible secrets. For example, that Lily cheated on Logan repeatedly.
Jason Doring played a difficult role in the series Veronica Mars. The actor noted that he had to transform from a happy Hollywood actor into a depressed guy who suffers the beating and cruelty of his on-screen father.
Logan Ackles tried to find out the reasons for his mother's suicide, and Veronica helped him in this. It was our heroine who told the guy that his mother was alive, but she just left her son without explanation, unable to bear the aggression of her husband. After this act, a warm relationship began between the young residents of Neptune, which did not last for several months. Logan Ackles is a popular character in a serial film, because he appears before us as a modest, good-natured and naive guy.
Feature film
This is surprising, but the creator and director of the popular series was able to agree with the film company on a new project of the same name in just 1 day. The fact is that the multi-series film adaptation was closed in 2007 due to a low rating, but seven years later Rob Thomas had the grand idea of a full-length film. To release the film, he needed only 2 million dollars, which he collected in 12 hours thanks to his fans. Kristen Bell, Tina Maggiorino, Kristen Ritter, James Franco, Martin Starr and Justing Long are the main actors in the movie Veronica Mars. Roles also went to the guest stars - Sam Huntington, Jamie Lee Curtis and Jerry O'Connell.
