Veronica Mars' Boss: "Very, Very, Very Sad Day"
I forwarded Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas the comments Dawn Ostroff made at the CW upfront (read 'em in my live blog) regarding the show's fate, and below is the response he just sent me:
"No one has talked to me about a new, non-Veronica project. All my writer's have been offered jobs elsewhere, and I believe they will now all accept these jobs. Very, very, very sad day around the VM offices.
I assume that anything Dawn would be talking about in the realm of a Rob-Kristen project would involve a new from-scratch pilot as they don't have me in a deal, and they'll lose Kristen in a couple of weeks."
Bottom line: It's over.
First Gilmore Girls and now this. Simply depressing. Who's giving out hugs?
EDIT: To counter the sad news of it's cancellation, I am encouraging everyone to go here and watch all of the extra footage and interviews and commentary. There is an interview with Ryan Hansen and a tour of his trailer. And there is creative commentary for the last two episodes by Chris Lowell and there is even an interview session with Kristen Bell and Chris Lowell that made me love them even more.
