In news that’s got this guy excited, Joe Dante’s horror comedy Burying the Ex has secured distribution at long last! This is one that I have been anxiously anticipating for some time and I am more than a little excited to check it out.

Alan Trezza penned the script (which was adapted from his short film of the same name) with genre film icon Joe Dante at the helm. This is Trezza’s first feature film screenplay.
