'Veronica Mars' Returns to Hometown and Murder Mysteries in New Trailer

Jan 03, 2014 04:57 PM EST | Jordan Ecarma

"Veronica Mars" fans can rejoice. The trailer for the new movie about the girl sleuth has been released, and the film has been given a spring release, Entertainment Weekly reported.

The trailer debuted exclusively on E! News and reveals that in the new movie, Veronica (Kristen Bell) finds out that a former love interest has been accused of murdering his girlfriend.

Of course, Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring) couldn't be guilty, but will Veronica risk a relationship and high-power job in New York City to help him out?

In the film following up the three-season series, Veronica will return to her hometown to unravel a murder mystery. "Veronica Mars" ran for three seasons on the CW and gained something of a cult following after its abrupt ending.

Bell and creator Rob Thomas launched a Kickstarter campaign and successfully raised funding for the film. Calling for donations of $2 million, the campaign was the likely the biggest in Kickstart history, according to E! News.

"This project has been a labor of love for everyone involved--me, the cast, my producing partners," Thomas said in a statement. "We are so grateful for the outpouring of support from the Kickstarter backers. This movie wouldn't have happened without them."

Most of the movie was shot over the summer with post-production taking place during the fall, Thomas said.

"We will make the sleuthiest, snarkiest, it's-all-fun-and-games-'til-one-of-you-gets-my-foot-up-your-ass movie we possibly can," Bell wrote on the official campaign page last spring. "I promise to give it my all. I promise to work my hardest to give everyone a little bit more Veronica, and I will be oh so honored to do so."
