The story revolves around Donnie [=DuPre=] (played by Walker), the founder of an independent film studio called "Demo Reel", who believes he can not only remake famous movies, but also make them better. He is joined by Rebecca Stoné (pronounced "stone"; the accent is silent), a scatter-brained actress; Tacoma Narrows, an up-and-coming writer who is the only one taking the job seriously; and cameramen Carl Copenhagen and make-up artist "Quinn", East German and Irish nationals respectively, who are most definitely not mercenaries.
