I apologize in advance for a dumb question here. So they re-shot the whole commercial with different actors? That is incredible. I thought they somehow touched up the old one

No, it was entirely re-shot from the ground up. They used the same script and I think the same music. You'll notice the actors look similar but they're not the same (newsstand guy in particular).

There's a short 10-minute documentary about this, somewhere.

No they clearly used the same actors for the reboot. When you look at the comparison videos you can see that they are the same people but older. It's weird but also a nice touch that they got the same people. Now my head canon is that they live in a Groundhog Day type loop, living the same day over and over again, but they also age.
