Fast Track: Expect Delay



The Zach Braff/Jason Bateman/Amanda Peet vehicle Fast Track, which was pulled from the December 2006 release schedule with no explanation, is now back on track for a March release. According to Braff's blog, the move is motivated only by all three actors' inability to promote the film during their busy schedules (Braff is doing Scrubs, Peet is doing the still-not-cancelled Studio 60, and Bateman has Smokin' Aces and Arthur and the Invisibles coming out). This sounds suspiciously like a cover-up operation for a shitty movie, but as you know, celebrities never lie.

The film stars Braff as a man who has to take a job for his father-in-law after his pregnant wife (Peet) steps away from her breadwinning job. He immediately falls into a competition with another of her father's employees, a wheelchair-bound over-achiever who happens to be his wife's ex (Bateman).

Check out the moderately amusing trailer below, if only for its handful of golden Batemanisms, and the Comedyblog will let you know when a release date is finally set in stone.
