"People are talking to us about doing a Party Down movie, and we are pretty far down the deal-making process with that," Thomas said during the 'Party Down' marathon event at the Alamo Drafthouse.

"We're hopeful that there will be a 'Party Down' movie. Ideally, if it works out, we could be shooting in television hiatus time next spring," he said. "So hopefully that deal will close, and we'll all tweet about it when it does."

'Party Down' isn't the only Thomas creation with a long-rumored flick in the works. You all remember the saga known as the 'Veronica Mars' movie?

A 'Veronica Mars' movie was on, then off, then back on -- sort of -- with Kristen Bell saying she'd finance the film ... if only Warner Bros. would let her.

Last November, Warner Bros. set up an email address for fans to email in support of a 'VM' film. Since then, there's been little word regarding the status of this pipe dream.
