Due to the sudden cancellation of Veronica Mars after three seasons, many of its avid followers were left hanging with numerous questions surrounding the fate of the show's characters. The third season finale was never meant to close out the series. As such, the possibility of a Veronica Mars film remains a big deal for the show's loyal fan base.
Hopes of the Veronica Mars faithful were dashed though, when series lead, Kristen Bell stated unequivocally last month that a film project wasn't likely to happen.

Many are still sorely disappointed that the CW decided to pull Veronica Mars off the air. However, the network's Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff has moved on, telling reporters during the TCA summer press tour that she does not regret canceling the teen drama series, which starred Kristen Bell as a skilled teen detective.
“I can honestly sit here and say I can not look back and have any regrets [about canceling it],” Ostroff said. “I feel that we gave Veronica Mars every chance and as many of you here know, there was no stronger champion of that show than me. We gave it a better time slot to follow up every single year that it was on the air. And eventually, we just had to say how much longer do we go on without the show really catching on?”
