Yesterday afternoon, the Wall Street Journal’s Tripp Mickle and Erin Schwartzel reported that Apple would be teaming up with A24 to produce “independent” features for the tech giant. Tweeted by WAPO entertainment writer Steven Zeitchik:  “A24-Apple is about as smart as entertainment partnerships get. Apple just found a fast-track into the prestige-film game, and A24 has another financial backstop in case its hedge-fund backers go cold. Something for everybody.”
