Publicly funded Veronica Mars set to kick off the spring Paley Fest

The 31st annual Paley Fest has just released the schedule of its first three events. First on the list would be the highly anticipated movie sequel to the cult favorite TV show, Veronica Mars. This is no ordinary film; this would the first major film to be completely produced by the mass public. On 13 March, 2013, Thomas and star Kristen Bell launched a fundraising campaign to produce the film through Kickstarter. In its first day on Kickstarter, the project broke the record as the fastest one to reach $1 million, then $2 million; it also achieved the highest minimal pledging goal and is now considered the largest successful film project on Kickstarter. The date of the panel is no coincidence, the cast along with the writer, Rob Thomas, would inaugurate the Paley Fest on 13 13, 2014, exactly one year to the date of its Kickstarter campaign, and also one day before its limited release in the US. Other panels announced so far at the annual fest include, fan favorite and Paley Fest regulars, American Horror Story: Coven and Pretty Little Liars. The full line up is scheduled to be released on 8 January. In addition to the aforementioned, Paley Fest would change its venue from the Saban Theater, which can accommodate about 1600 people in Beverly Hills to the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland, which can accommodate up to 2800. Veronica Mars is scheduled to make its Indian release in mid 2014. American Horror Story: Coven will soon premiere on FX India, which has already aired the previous two installments of the same viz. American Horror Story: Murder House & American Horror Story: Asylum. The midseason 4 finale of Pretty Little Liars just aired on Zee Café a month ago.
