10 Belated Film Sequels Hollywood Should Never Make

10. Groundhog Day: The Prequel

The Original:

Groundhog Day (1993). Weatherman Phil Connors pays a reluctant visit to his season predicting, groundhog namesake in Punxsutawney for a live TV report. Determined to get home as quickly as possible, Connors instead finds himself stuck in a time loop, forced to repeat the same day over and over again.

The Sequel:

Turns out that fateful February day from the first movie wasn’t Phil’s first encounter with a magical Groundhog. As an infant he got caught in a similar time loop after his parents took him to the Groundhog festival. Thing is, kids crave structure and routine, so when every day is exactly the same he just never really notices...

The vast majority of the film's budget is blown on hiring Bill Murray to voice baby Phil Connors, Look Who’s Talking style.

Thinking about it, was it actually even the Groundhog that was magical in the first film? It doesn’t matter, we’ve got Bill Murray as a talking baby!
