( CNN ) -- One thing fans of the TV series `` Veronica Mars '' -- sometimes called `` marshmallows '' -- hope to see in the movie `` Veronica Mars '' is a resolution to the ongoing debate : Team Logan or Team Piz ? When last we left the young detective , it seemed Veronica had finally settled down with Piz -- something that still seems to be the case in the trailer for the movie , which was funded entirely by legions of devoted fans . `` I know people were pissed off the way it did end , mostly because it was unknown , '' Jason Dohring ( Logan ) told CNN Thursday at the PaleyFest event for `` Veronica Mars , '' out this weekend . `` We give it some resolution in the film , but playing it back and forth is what makes the drama in the show. `` Logan was never supposed to be coupled with Veronica originally , show creator Rob Thomas revealed at the PaleyFest panel . But he grew on the writers when they saw Dohring 's chemistry with star Kristen Bell . That chemistry came back right away when he did his first scene with Bell on set , Dohring told CNN . `` I think Kristen is amazing , and when she smiles at me I kind of go , 'holy s -- - what do I do ? ' I smile back , and it just comes right back . '' Meanwhile , Chris Lowell offered `` Team Piz '' fans this hint about his character 's chances of being the one to end up with Veronica . `` I think Rob likes to not put a period on the end of every sentence when he finishes something , '' he said . `` The show ended on a cliffhanger note . I believe in a way he did a similar thing here . '' Thomas said the resolution might still be debated in fan circles even after they see the movie . `` I think that fans will understand why Veronica makes the decisions she makes , '' he said . `` It 's a fun predicament to put Veronica in -- will she go with her good sense or her passions ? '' One thing Thomas did make clear is that he made the final call on how things ended up . Five ways the show made its mark on TV . `` It was not up for a vote . Certainly I had a way I wanted it to go and that 's how it went , but we 'll let the fans decide if they 're happy with how it ended up . '' Of course , none of this would have been possible without the crowdfunding from Kickstarter , which gave the movie its budget of well over $ 5 million . `` It 's been a roller coaster ride for me in terms of hope , '' he said . `` There were moments where I felt optimistic and bullish about our chances , and others where I felt so low , I thought it would n't happen . Kristen Bell has this confidence and optimism that kept it going . It was like a mini-miracle when it came together . '' Thomas thinks this could potentially be something we see more and more , especially when it comes to Warner Bros. , the studio that owns `` Veronica Mars '' and gave Thomas the opportunity to try crowdfunding . ( Warner Bros. Pictures is owned by Time Warner , which also owns CNN . ) `` The next few weeks will tell . If the movie makes money then I think there 's an opportunity for more movies like ours to be made , '' he said . `` If we find this model that can support $ 5 or $ 10 million , I think [ Warner Bros. ] would be thrilled , and I 'd be proud if we got more $ 5 to 10 million movies [ based on existing series or properties ] because of this . '' So might we get more `` Veronica Mars '' after this ? There 's already a CW Web series based on Ryan Hansen 's character Dick Casablancas set to shoot in July . Thomas told the fans at PaleyFest that the idea of a Netflix or Amazon season of `` Veronica Mars '' excites him to no end . `` I would love to be able to do the R-rated version of 'Veronica Mars . ' I would love to tell some darker stories . '' In the meantime , fans can hope that Thomas ' TV adaptation of the comic book `` iZombie '' starring Rose McIver ( `` Once Upon a Time , '' `` Masters of Sex '' ) gets picked up by the CW . `` They said they wanted a kick-ass female centric show like 'Buffy ' and 'Veronica , ' and I think it 's a fun show in that vein , '' he told CNN . `` I think we jump off the comic book [ storylines ] quite a bit , but we keep the basic idea that our young female zombies have to eat brains to survive , and she gets the memories of the people whose brains she 's consuming . '' Well , we can see one big difference right away . So not just `` Veronica Mars '' fans but clearly , `` Walking Dead '' fans might want to check it out , as well . 11 reasons we love Kristen Bell .
The `` Veronica Mars '' movie opens Friday . In the movie, which is based on a popular TV series, she plays an FBI agent who investigates paranormal activity in Los Angeles. Creator says he would love a Netflix or Amazon reboot of the series .
