While it is obviously impossible to judge the content of an entire film by a two-minute preview, this manages to avoid the self-indulgence that often dominates sequel trailers. After all, a successful franchise comes with a built-in audience - why not fill the next installments with nothing beyond in-jokes and callbacks? Luckily, this trailer indicates that Veronica Mars will be avoiding the easy path of catering only to long-time fans. Although dominated by enough recognisable characters from the show to make Marshmallows smile, the preview makes it clear that the movie will have a plot worth following by fans and newcomers alike.
