“Fast Track” takes the excruciatingly slow track
-
- January

When you go and name a movie “Fast Track,” you’re practically invoking Murphy’s Law. The film stars Zach Braff, Amanda Peet, and Rye native Jason Bateman, and it was shot in the summer of 2005 in Nyack. Which means that in should be in theaters by now, right? Eh, not quite.
At first it was scheduled to come out during the holidays, putting it up against meek romantic-comedy competition like “The Holiday.” Then the December 29 release was revised to January 19 (this week). And now it’s being moved again—to March 9. Braff explains the latest move on his blog: “The main reason being that neither I, nor Jason Bateman, nor Amanda Peet have any time right now to go out and promote the movie.”
When a film’s stars balk at doing the publicity circuit, that doesn’t bode well. Meanwhile, the “Fast Track” trailer on iTunes is pretty funny  Braff is a slacker forced to work for his father-in-law and cooperate with the scheming, wheelchair-bound Bateman  so I’m not sure what gives. Perhaps the title was just meant to connote the, uh, fast track to home video.
