Well, one plausible explanation for Amazon's departure according to Variety could be to do with it's former boss. http://variety.com/2018/film/news/terry-...202804132/ While Paulo Branco claims they backed out because of the court case, (which isn't true, he's been playing the bad loser card all afternoon), Amazon Studios is currently being reorganised, the Quixote deal was originally signed by ex-Amazon head Roy Price, who was axed last year after sexual abuse allegations, (he also signed Woody Allen, but Woody's deal still stands, sort of), but it looks like Amazon are slowly washing their hands of anything Price signed up. Pity really, but if all else fails, there's always Netflix. We'll have to wait and see if A24 or indeed anyone else puts in an offer.
