Photos: Stories that leapt from big to small screen (and vice versa)

The beloved fan favorite TV series “Veronica Mars” finally made its much-heralded return, this time on the silver screen. Thanks to overwhelming fan support via a Kickstarter campaign last year, everyone’s favorite teen (now young adult) sleuth is back on the case. While the phenomenon of TV properties making the leap to the big screen -- and vice versa -- isn’t unique in Hollywood, it is rare for the entire original cast to make the leap between screens. But the graduating class of Neptune High does join a small but elite group of casts. See who else made the leap.  (Robert Voets / AP)
