Groundhog day is a film where a weather presenter repeats the same day until he finally manages to attract his co-host[1].
He apparently spends a lot of days in various persuits like learning to play the piano, seducing women, killing himself and 6 months solid throwing cards into a hat.
I think
there's potential for the film to be expanded with more wild adventures which could be attempted. This new film would therefore be in a novel state; it would not be a sequel, a prequel, a remake, or even a retelling of the same events from a different perspective. Since the scenes would take place between the days shown in the previous film, I suggest that it would be an intervel.
[1] I think he was lucky that the time-loop ended that day, for no obvious reason. What would he have done if he'd managed that then the day had repeated again?

//What would he have done// Repeated his success until he
grew bored with her. Eventually, everything she said, every
facial expression, her reaction to everything he could say or
do to her -- would be completely predictable to him.
Ghastly.
I rather like that, as an alternative, tragic denouement. Not
exactly box
office, though. ([+]) |

It would be "In Camera". That's particularly interesting because the successful version is Nietzschean but the unsuccessful one would be Sartrean. |

I honestly think you've done something really profound with this idea, [Loris]. |

Only you and only here can we manage philosophy conversation out of a Bill Murray movie. |

I'm hard pressed to think of any film which isn't fertile ground for philosophy. In this case, for what it's worth, there's a claim on IMDB that the film is inspired by Nietzsches Eternal Recurrence, as in 'Frohliche Wissenschaft'. |

This could easily enter the horror genre. |
