Krysten Ritter has been confirmed to star in the Veronica Mars movie.
Director Rob Thomas revealed that Ritter will reprise her role of Gia Goodman in the feature-length version of the popular TV show, reports The Wrap.
A Kickstarter funding campaign is behind the development of the project. Ritter contacted contributors to say that she was "thrilled" to be a part of the movie.
She wrote: "G-G-G-Gia!!!! I'm thrilled to be reprising my role of Gia Goodman in the Veronica Mars movie!!! It's gonna be very juicy Marshmallows!!!!! AAAHHHH!!!! (sic)"
Ritter continued: "Veronica Mars has a special place in my heart because it was my first big acting job (!!!!!!) and it was also one of the most lovely on-set experiences you could ever ask for. This will truly be an awesome shoot, not only because we all get to be reunited (can't WAIT!) but because of the revolutionary way this all was able to come to life!"
The actress went on to thank Thomas, co-star Kristen Bell, Kickstarter and Veronica Mars fans for the opportunity.
