Comic-Con is a time for people around the world to get their geek on and that’s exactly what the panel for Veronica Mars did on Friday. The panel, which included heavyweights in the series including Kristen Bell and series creator Rob Thomas, debuted footage from the upcoming film to fans in attendance.

Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas spoke on what the new film will be like when the footage was debuted at the Friday panel

“I can tell you that it sort of has a Godfather III theme to it,” Thomas said, via THR.com. “Which is odd, because why not pick Godfather II? It was better…. I can tell you [Veronica] has not worked as a private detective since the last time you saw her. Part of this movie is her getting back into this life she thought she left behind.”

The film is one of many in Hollywood that is seeing stars and writers alike band together to try and crowdsource money to make a film. Kickstarter is responsible for reviving Veronica Mars, a series that was killed off some years ago despite outrage from it’s loyal following.

That following took to the streets of the internet to get the series revived and while that won’t be happening, a film is on the way and fans so far like what they paid for.
