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."
‘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.
