From EW’s Michael Ausiello:

Question: It’s been weeks since you’ve given us something on the Veronica Mars movie. Can you help a fan in desperate need of some good news? –Elise
Ausiello: Progress has been made! “I pitched [it] to Joel [Silver],” Rob Thomas reports. “He seemed to really like the pitch. Waiting to hear whether he can get The Powers That Be at Warner Bros. to take a chance on it. If they say no, we’re out of luck, as the studio owns the rights. There’s really nowhere else I can take it.” Let’s focus on the positive, shall we? Joel liked the pitch! Woo-hoo!
