Netflix teases April 17th debut of Beyonce’s Coachella documentary

It’s not been explicitly said, but rumour has been going around that Beyonce’s much-hyped Coachella performance will be getting it a documentary movie on Netflix. And a new teaser by the streaming service suggests it’s coming soon—April 17th, to be exact. It’s going to come out just ahead of the 2019 festival’s second weekend. The teaser just has the word Homecoming but it seems like a callback to both the yellow outfits Beyonce and her team wore for her performance as well as the launch of her Homecoming Scholars Swards Program. With the 17th coming up, we’re sure to hear more pretty soon.

‘Super Meat Boy Forever’ pushes back release date

April was the expected release of Super Meat Boy Forever. But its developer Team Meat has announced a delay to “after but not too far after April 2019.” The developers believed they are close to finishing the game and could possibly meet the deadline if they pushed themselves to the limit. However, they wanted to finish it at a “healthy and sustainable pace,” which is something we can definitely support. This endless runner game is slated to come to mobile as well as consoles, PC, and Linux. It features procedurally generated gameplay that adapts to a player’s skill level.

Amazon enters nine-figure deal with ‘Westworld’ creators to develop exclusive content for Prime Video

Amazon has just signed Westworld’s showrunners Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, and their company Kilter films to develop original shows for Prime Video. It’s said to be a low-to-mid nine-figure deal that covers a four-to-five year period, which is believed to be worth upwards of US$30 million a year. The couple will be leaving Warner Bros TV but they will continue to be showrunners for HBO’s Westworld. They are still signed up to write and executive produce more seasons of the how. Engadget reports the first show they might work on could be the sci-fi drama series, The Peripheral. But we’re going to have to wait and see what they have cooking up.
