Talking to iF Magazine, Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas reveals that with his upcoming series Cupid being reduced from thirteen to eight episodes, he has had more time to work on the Veronica Mars film.

“My writing the movie is half the battle, he said. Someone else has to pay for it. Joel Silver does have a certain pile of money. He called on me saying Can we do this now?Kristen [Bell] wants to do it. Joel wants to do it and I want to do it. For me, thats the next project.”

He continued, saying that the script is 70 percent broken in my head and that he has been struggling with this one plot point. However, Smith added that we wont see Mars join the FBI as was previously thrown about as afourth season idea.

“I know we did that F.B.I. what if thing, but we would not go to that place, said Thomas. I think it would open just days before the Hearst College Graduation. So Veronica would be sort of at the end of her college career.
