‘The Ex’ Trailer
Trailer for The Ex a new comedy with Jason Bateman and Zach Braff. It looks great, but it recently the release date got pushed back and the name got changed from ‘Fast Track’ neither of which are good signs. However, Zach explains (warning long page, 1000+ fan-girl comments) the changes:
“Hey, Zach, what happened to Fast Track?” a fan of mine might ask. This is what happened to “Fast Track”: None of the stars of the movie (me, Amanda Peet, Jason Bateman) are available at all right now to promote the movie. It was supposed to come out this week, but between promoting the Scrubs musical and shooting Scrubs and sleeping and doing all my other projects, it became impossible to get out there and plug it. And you can’t release a movie without the stars of it going out and telling the world about it.
Part 2: The studio always hated the title, because the movie has nothing to do with a fast track. Nothing to do with tracks or fastness at all. So since we moved the date they seized the opportunity to change the name to “The Ex”, since it is indeed about a nightmare ex-boyfriend (Jason Bateman) who tortures a current boyfriend, me (Zach Braff).
Still no firm US release date, which is just not a good thing.
