After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the "Veronica Mars" Movie is finally done, and has recently premiered at the SXSW; and to celebrate the success of the movie that fans have been dying to watch for years, the cast took a group selfie that could get the star-studded one Ellen DeGeneres took at the Oscars a run for its money.

Unfortunately, as much fans as "Veronica Mars" has, the 2,500 retweets and 4,500 favorites is a far cry from the millions of shares that Ellen and other A-List stars garnered at the Oscars.
The Guardian reports that the movie picks up years later, with Veronica Mars (Kirsten Bell) on the brink of being a lawyer for a New York City firm and still happily dating her college boyfriend, Piz (played by Chris Lowell), her sleuthing days behind her. Then her former flame, Logan (Jason Dohring) was accused of the murder of his girlfriend, popstar Bonnie DeVille, aka Carrie Bishop (played by Andrea Bishop, who replaced original series actress, Leighton Meester).
According to Complex.com, among the original cast members who returned for the movie are Veronica's besties, Wallace and Mac (played by Percy Daggs III and Tina Majorino), Keith (Enrico Colantoni), Gia (Krysten Ritter), Dick (Ryan Hansen), Weevil (Francis Capra), Luke (Sam Huntington).
New characters have also been added, including Gaby Hoffman and Martin Starr who appear as old classmates from Neptune High. Jerry O'Connell also stars as the new sheriff, Dan Lamb, the brother of Don, the sheriff who died in Season three. There will also be cameos from various actors and actresses that are yet to be named.
As for the cast, they had no problems with reuniting after years apart. In a report by Complex.com, Kirsten Bell said during the post-screening Q&A, "We love each other and a lot of us have kept in touch mostly via email because of busy schedules, so to get to spend 24 straight days with these knuckleheads has been a real treat."
"Veronica Mars" Movie will premier in theaters worldwide on March 14.
