Line 139:
* [[Hieronymus Bosch]] and [[Pieter Bruegel the Elder]] made a number of very interesting [[Surrealism|surrealist]] paintings... roughly 400 years before the surrealist movement appeared.
* The term "electric blue" dates back at least as far as 1884 (according to [[The Other Wiki]]), and appears in a [[Sherlock Holmes]] story ("The Adventure of the Copper Beeches", pub. 1892).
* Writing a prequel to tell the story of the father of the main character of a previous work?
* Likewise, remakes, reboots, sequels and prequels were not invented by Hollywood. It was common practice in ancient Greece and in 17th century France among classical authors to base their plays on well-known episodes of the Trojan war or to write their own version of the existing work of a more ancient author. Moliere's ''The Miser'', for instance, is a remake of a latin play, ''Aulularia'', by Plautus, with some dialogues lifted almost verbatim! The public wanted to see how a new author was going to use the subject material; it didn't matter that the later was not new.
* The term "wormhole" first appeared in Shakespeare's works!
