Christine Lakin Joins VERONICA MARS Movie

Christine Lakin has joined the VERONICA MARS movie to reprise her role as 'Susan Knight', according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Lakin appeared in just one episode of the TV series as Carrie Bishop (Leighton Meester)'s friend.

Lakin will next appear in Holiday Miracle. Other film credits include: The Frankenstein Theory, Parental Guidance, New Year's Eve, You Again, Valentine's Day and more. TV credits: Family Guy, Lips, Rita Rocks, Valentine and Step by Step.

Percy Daggs III (otherwise known as Veronica Mars' best friend Wallace Fennell) also recently signed on for the upcoming movie, set to begin shooting this summer.

The only other cast members to have signed deals are Kristen Bell, Enrico Colantoni, and Jason Dohring - though Rob Thomas isn't worried that he can swindle just about every other major (and minor) player in Neptune into returning. Much of the cast, including NEW GIRL's MAX GREENFIELD, who played Deputy Leo D'Amato, have all-but inked deals to reprise their roles. Greenfield has also confirmed he'll do the film for free - and even fly himself to the set.

When the Kickstarter project began in March, Thomas outlined a portion of the film's potential plot, writing:

"Life has taken Veronica away from Neptune. In the years since spoiling Keith's chances to be reelected sheriff, Veronica hasn't taken a case. But something big is about to bring her back home and back to her calling. My goal is to include as many of your favorite characters as possible. It is, after all, time for Veronica's 10-year high school reunion."

The kickstarter raised over $5.7 million - thanks to the show's Cult following, the film hit its goal of $2 million in just half-a-day into the one-month deadline.

VERONICA MARS followed the smart, wise-cracking high school student who has a penchant for solving mysteries, while helping her father with his struggling P.I. agency. Despite his warnings, Veronica's determined to uncover the biggest mystery of all: who killed her best friend and created a Scandal that cost her father his job, his home and his wife - and turned Veronica into an outcast at school.
