Better idea...reshoot the movie with all the same actors and the exact same script.

Kinda doubt Bill Murray would be on board with such a cheap stunt. Pretty sure he's moved on to cheaper, less prestigious, worse paying stunts by this point in his illustrious career. (I kid, kinda.)
Besides, Harold Ramis is dead and Michael Shannon is kind of a big deal, now.

[-] Geriatrickid@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Whoooooa, TIL Michael Shannon was in Groundhog Day! He only came on my radar after watching the movie Take Shelter, then he really stuck with me.

[-] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

They could add in some new ways he spent the time. Like the pool hall deleted scene that conveys how long he was in the loop.

[-] GombeenSysadmin@feddit.uk 7 points 11 months ago

Or just insert a few scenes with Bill Murray and Annie McDowell at the age they are now, to show how long he was stuck in there.

[-] ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Have you seen the movie? How does that make sense? It was a time loop, i.e. no aging.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 0 points 11 months ago

The sequel is a time loop, with aging.

Duh.

[-] sysadmin420@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Like Cruel Intentions 2?

[-] homura1650@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Ah, the endless 8 approach.

[-] Pistcow@lemm.ee 31 points 11 months ago

I went to a double feature at my local theater. Groundhog Day followed by Groundhog day.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I've joked that if they made Spaceballs 2 they need to release it on VHS before it comes out in theaters.

[-] bfg9k@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

It's what we're watching now

When will then be now? Soon.

[-] db2@sopuli.xyz 13 points 11 months ago

This is a perfect idea.

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago

there should be a new version of that film released every year on Feb 2.. it should be a tradition..

[-] mack7400@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

If they did, it would be over Harold Ramis' dead body.

[-] moistclump@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Genuinely, could they do that? Would there be any legal or logistical obstacles?

[-] H2207@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Not a lawyer but I don't see any legal obstacles as long as they only use the footage and nothing else from the original film. Put a different name on it too.

Morally though, it's funny but also a complete cash-grab.

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Everyone that earned money from the first release would earn money on a new release.

[-] H2207@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

But wouldn't the new release be a unique entity, so therefore it'd be no different than if it was another film?

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

If it's the same movie, everyone that's credited on it is still credited on it.

[-] miak@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I own Groundhogs Day, and I would gladly buy this.

[-] Rootiest@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Found punxsutawney phil's account

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

They should include a scene where he holds Seth Green over a trashcan by his ankles this time lol
