Satchel is reading some papers. Bucky says: "That's my latest screenplay. It's a remake of that old gorilla movie. I updated it to give it relevance to a modern audience." Satchel reads: "'Chinchillas in the Mist?'" Bucky says: "It's the true-life story of my heroic yet little known dealings with suburban wildlife." Satchel says: "Bucky in the last scene you bite off all the chinchillas' heads. That's not how 'Gorillas in the Mist' ended!" Bucky says: "Satchel, this is a REMAKE. I UPDATED it. I don't care how the gorilla movie ended. I've never even seen it." Satchel asks: "How do you do a remake of a movie you've never seen?" Bucky says: "No, Man, this is a DIFFERENT MOVIE. I don't--Hey, where are you going. You didn't read the whole thing!" Satchel replies: "And yet...I'm strangely comfortable with that."

In all fairness to Bucky, most remakes don’t seem to have much to do with the original and should be, at best, considered to be “inspired by” the original.

‘How do you do a remake of a movie you’ve never seen?’
Ask JJ ‘arrsehole’ Abrams about that. He has some experience in remaking movies he has never seen. Star Trek is a prime example of that.
