1 day agoYou're right to feel suspicious: Wordle is the TV spinoff the world does not need
Wordle is being adapted into a competitive NBC gameshow, filmed in Manchester, using teams to solve puzzles for cash.
Since Brian De Palma made the horror classic "Carrie" in 1976, bestselling author Stephen King has been a Hollywood favorite for adaptations. That film, based on King's first published novel of the same name from 1974, was followed by Tobe Hooper's take on "Salem's Lot" in 1979 for television and Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" on the big screen just one year later. By 1980, three legendary directors had adapted King's work, cementing his place in the horror genre, onscreen as well as on the page.
