[Maleficus]

lol TBH thats a pretty funny kickstarter video, and i did enjoy the show

is KB really that short?

5' 1"

 

[SheHateMe]

yup, and because the movie isnt even made yet how do you know what youre donating for? youre basically throwing money at faith.

when people promote products on kickstarter, the item is real. its there and you know what it is. if you donate enough, you get that item in the mail in most cases.

i have a shop light im putting on there. $50 donation and youll get one in the mail. its pretty hard to go wrong in that situation...

Ya, until whatever the Kickstarter fund is going to falls through and nobody gets their money back. That has happened quite a few times.

and by fall through, I mean no product....

Won't be any different if the movie turns out to be shit and doesn't do anything in the box office. Then, I am sure the people behind this project will come up with an excuse as to why they cannot afford to supply the promised gifts.

You have no clue what you're talking about here, do you?

already funded and the perks are funny/interesting

Actually, I do.

Quite a few projects on Kickstarter have promised this and that. People invest their money, the project goes under...the people get nothing.

Is it no some rare occurrence on Kickstarter. Do you really think this movie is going to be a box office hit? In order to be a success they need to make more than they put into the film.

What if Warner Bros decides they no longer want to back this movie? Then what?

All those little prizes you got promised cost money to produce.

I don't give to anything on Kickstarter because of it.

Unlike something funded by Warner with tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, this movie doesn't need to be a box office hit to succeed as evidenced by the piles of straight to video stuff out there. Veronica Mars is a character-driven show that's not exactly a sci-fi spectacle loaded with special effects, intricate sets or an expensive cast.

There is absolutely risk in putting money into any Kickstarter project whether it's a movie, a game or a physical product. The same way I would trust a very small handful of game developers with Kickstarter money (e.g., Double Fine Games), you have Veronica Mars' original showrunner and a good chunk of the original cast behind this so it's not like this is some fly-by-night operation trying to capitalize on the fandom with little chance of succeeding (see Civitas for an example of that).

The "prizes" in other projects are usually the product the stater is trying to get into production. Here, their biggest "prize" is a speaking role in the movie.

I funded a few projects that are coming to fruition quite nicely. I guess you have to be smart about what you actually decide to fund.

I'd never watch this but she's definitely hot.

Nice, this show was sweet.

 

[SZLiao214]

They are at 2.6 mil right now.

Probably 3 million by the end of today.
