A24 was briefly thought to be purchased by Apple. The deal is not happening (yet?), but if A24 is still looking for a potential buyer that could affect any future deals with Amazon.
I'm wondering if there may be another potential buyer of A24 on the horizon, and Amazon is just passing along any future film deals it has with A24 to the buyer, as it may get streaming rights from A24 anyway.

P.S. I was definitely joking about the film being released for free on the Internet. In a perfect world, I'd rather see this film become Gilliam's most film successful both financially and artistically.
