Literary sub-genre: Novel or play retells a classic from the perspective of a secondary character or characters. The new story tracks the the original but shifts some of its action offstage. The two versions intertwine, each now commenting on the other.

Examples:
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Tom Stoppard).
James (Percival Everett).

Are there others? There must be.

@JamesGleick The Simpsons episode "You Only Move Twice" is a Bond movie from the perspective of an oblivious employee of the villain (Homer, of course).

Marvels, by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross, looks at the first 40 years or so of Marvel Comics from the perspective of a photojournalist at the Daily Bugle.
