Exclusive: Veronica Mars' FBI Pitch Not Dead!
Veronica Mars' dream of becoming an FBI agent is still very much alive, according to
Mars chief Rob Thomas.
Responding to Enrico Colantoni's recent declaration in the
Toronto Star that the CW has essentially rejected a proposal that would've placed Veronica in the FBI next season, Thomas tells me that network head Dawn Ostroff "hasn't seen the presentation," adding, "I have no earthly idea what Enrico is talking about. The network doesn't see it or hear our pitches for
VM College or
VM FBI until May 2."
Colantoni did get one thing right in the
Toronto Star piece, per Thomas. CW execs "did see and love our finale," he says, "and I told Enrico that. But the rest of it is out of left field."
A CW spokesperson, meanwhile, backs up Thomas' story. "Rob is right," says the rep.
So, the only question now is, what the heck was Enrico smoking when he gave those quotes? Any guesses?
