Nothing new under the sun

A couple of days ago, AMC showed a movie called It Happened Tomorrow, filmed in 1944 with Dick Powell.

It's the exact same plot of the TV series from a few years ago, Early Edition (1996 - 2000) that starred Kyle Chandler as Gary Hobson, a newspaper guy who always receives a newspaper first thing in the morning, with news of a tragedy in it that he needs to change...

I only watched a few episodes of Early Edition when it was in reruns, and I liked it, but it's funny to realize it was based on a 60 year old movie...I just thought it was a revamp of Quantum Leap with a newspaper replacing Al...and of course sticking to one time period rather than "leaping" all around...
