Producer William Horberg, who is wrapping up Cold Mountain in Romania for director Anthony Minghella, is exiting his post at Mirage Enterprises to form Wonderland Films with a two-year, first-look pact at DreamWorks Pictures. The deal for Horberg comes after an 11-year run at Mirage, where he worked alongside company partners Sydney Pollack and Minghella as an in-house producer on such high-profile fare as Minghella's The Talented Mr. Ripley, starring Matt Damon; Peter Howitt's Sliding Doors, starring Gwyneth Paltrow; Tom Tykwer's Heaven, starring Cate Blanchett and Giovanni Ribisi; and, more recently, Phillip Noyce's The Quiet American, starring Michael Caine.
