Savannah Guthrie to host NBC’s new ‘Wordle’ game show produced by Jimmy Fallon

Savannah Guthrie attends 2018 Time 100 Gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center New York^ NY - April 24^ 2018

Savannah Guthrie is adding another role to her NBC lineup as host of a new primetime game show inspired by The New York Times word game, Wordle.  The series is being developed with executive producer Jimmy Fallon, and is expected to debut in 2027.

The show will transform the popular five-letter puzzle game into a large-scale television competition, with teams facing off to solve word challenges for cash prizes. Contestants will compete in groups, racing to crack puzzles in what NBC describes as a fast-paced mix of strategy, teamwork and trivia-style fun.

Guthrie, who is known to be a longtime fan of the game, said she was excited to bring the daily puzzle experience to television audiences. Fallon praised her involvement, saying, “Savannah has that rare combination of intelligence, charm, and warmth that makes everyone feel instantly welcome. And she obviously knows how to host a show.”

The project is being produced through Fallon’s Electric Hot Dog production company alongside Universal Television Alternative Studio and The New York Times, which purchased the viral game in 2022. During the announcement on the “Today” show, Guthrie also revealed that production on the pilot had originally been planned for March but was postponed following the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, earlier this year. She thanked Fallon and the production team for delaying filming during the difficult period. Nancy Guthrie, 84, vanished from her Arizona home in February and remains missing.

Filming for the series is expected to begin next year, while casting for contestants is already underway.

Peter Dinklage is heading to outer space once again—this time with a major role in FX’s Alien: Earth. The Emmy-winning star of ‘Game of Thrones’ has officially joined Season 2 as a series regular, though details about his character are still being kept secret.

Created by Noah Hawley, the sci-fi drama serves as a prequel to Alien, unfolding two years before the events of the original movie. The series marks the franchise’s first venture into television and follows a story led by Sydney Chandler, who plays Wendy, a humanoid robot. The ensemble cast also includes Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, Adarsh Gourav, Timothy Olyphant, and David Rysdahl.

After debuting last summer and earning a renewal in November, the show is preparing to begin production on its second season in May at London’s Pinewood Studios—home to past “Alien” productions like Alien 3 and Prometheus. Season 1 was previously filmed in Thailand.

Dinklage, widely recognized for his award-winning portrayal of Tyrion Lannister on GOT, continues to stay busy across film and television. His recent work includes roles in “Roofman,” “Wicked,” and Dexter: Resurrection, as well as FX’s “The Lowdown.”

“Alien: Earth” is executive produced by Hawley along with Ridley Scott and a team of producers, and is developed under FX Productions.

‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ returning to the big screen to mark 35th anniversary

Arnold Schwarzenegger at Netflix's 'Fubar' Season 2 premiere held at the Tudum Theater in Hollywood^ USA on June 11^ 2025.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day is heading back to theaters this May to mark its 35th anniversary, with Rialto Pictures and StudioCanal organizing a limited eight-week engagement starting May 22.

Originally released over the July 4th weekend in 1991, Judgment Day quickly became a defining sci-fi blockbuster. Arnold Schwarzenegger flipped his role, portraying a reprogrammed T-800 sent back in time to protect young John Connor, played by Edward Furlong. Together with his mother Sarah Connor—portrayed by Linda Hamilton—they attempt to stop the rise of Skynet and prevent a future nuclear catastrophe. A major highlight of the film remains the villainous T-1000, played by Robert Patrick, whose liquid-metal form introduced groundbreaking visual effects at the time. Joe Morton appears as Miles Dyson, the scientist whose work leads to Skynet’s creation.

Directed by James Cameron, who co-wrote the screenplay with William Wisher and produced alongside Gale Anne Hurd, the film earned widespread acclaim. It grossed more than $200 million domestically and won multiple Academy Awards, including honors for visual effects and sound.

For this anniversary run, audiences can experience the film in several formats, including original 35mm and 70mm prints, as well as updated 4K and 3D presentations—offering both nostalgia and modern clarity for one of action cinema’s most influential titles.

Bon Jovi biopic in development from Universal Pictures

Phil X^ David Bryan^ Jon Bon Jovi^ Hugh McDonald and Tico Torres of Bon Jovi at the MusiCares Person of the Year Gala. LOS ANGELES^ USA. February 02^ 2024

A feature film about legendary rock band Bon Jovi is officially in development, with the news coming after Universal Pictures won a competitive bid to bring the story to theaters. Screenwriter Cody Brotter—known for the upcoming crypto-themed thriller Killing Satoshi starring Pete Davidson and Casey Affleck—has been tapped to write the script. A director and cast have not yet been announced.

The project will explore the group’s journey from small New Jersey venues to international stardom, with access to the band’s music catalog and participation from frontman Jon Bon Jovi.

Bon Jovi – born Jon Bongiovi – grew up in New Jersey and developed a passion for music at a young age, drawing inspiration from bands like The Beatles. As a teenager, he wrote songs and performed locally while trying to break into the industry. He also worked at his cousin’s Power Station recording studio in Manhattan, doing odd jobs while watching major artists such as Aerosmith record. During that time, he recorded early material—including the track that would become “Runaway.” After struggling to attract label attention, the song gained momentum when New York radio station WAPP began playing it, helping launch his career.

Soon after, Jon Bon Jovi formed a band with keyboardist David Bryan, drummer Tico Torres, bassist Alec John Such and guitarist Richie Sambora. Their third album, Slippery When Wet, became the group’s breakthrough, producing smash hits like “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “You Give Love a Bad Name.” The record sold more than 30 million copies worldwide and cemented the band’s status as one of rock’s biggest touring acts.

Across their career, Bon Jovi has sold more than 130 million albums globally and earned induction into both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
