Abstract

In an epoch saturated with alleged innovativeness and novelty, intertextuality confuted these assumptions by giving a new roadmap to the intersection and interaction of different texts. Though its initial concentration had been oriented towards literary texts, the theory has set a massive step in the cinematic realm with a myriad of motion pictures. Cinema on the other hand, has proved to imitate the pre-existent social and literary poetics tremendously, conceptualizing a patent intertwined and intertextual relation with previous texts, movies, and discourses. The fantasy genre with its different borrowed hints and nodal images is no exception. Therefore, as a subject of scrutiny, this paper seeks to investigate the intertextual utterances utilized in most major fantasy blockbusters.
