Box office hit: Horlick hopes to play a part in movies on a par with Shutter Island

It has lined up the producers of box office hits such as Pulp fiction and Leonardo Dicaprio vehicle Shutter Island to help it develop up to 25 film projects over the next three years.

It will work with a screenwriter to produce a script before selling it on to a production company.
Derby, which will also be led by Horlick, hopes to sell the projects with a film director and movie stars already lined up.

Derby is the first venture for Bramdean Asset Management since it sold the management contract to the Bramdean Alternatives Fund in November 2009 to Aberdeen Asset Management.
The fund lost about £10m to Madoff.

When suddenly, another boat came too close to us. The driver dodge the boat but one of our chairs, fell in the water. It was very poetic to observe how the chair was submerging into the water bit by bit, and we could not do much about, as the current of the river moved us forward.
