Jude Law: With maturity comes complication Associated Press

LONDON — Jude Law feels his work options are widening as he gets older, and he revels in the complications. The 41-year-old British actor — best known for his roles in “The Talented Mr Ripley,” ‘’Cold Mountain” and more recently “Sherlock Holmes” — says there is now “less emphasis on playing romantic leads.” “You get over a certain age, and you’re more complicated anyway,” he said in an interview. “So, I guess characters written for that age are more complicated, you know.” Law said he likes to take risks by picking roles that terrify him, such as his much-acclaimed stint in “Henry V” in London’s West End last year. “There’s this moment when you haven’t quite learnt your lines, the play doesn’t feel like it’s coming together or at least you don’t feel that you’ve fully understood the role or indeed the piece yet and everyone’s looking around for a way out, an excuse,” he said, recalling the rehearsal period.

“And yet you know that you have a set day ahead of you when you are going to open to the press — and indeed to the public — and it’s nothing short of terrifying.” “It’s usually at that moment you question yourself, your job, why you’re doing this,” he added, “but it’s also an opportunity to sort of face failure and fear.” Among Law’s current roles is playing a submarine captain in Kevin Macdonald’s “Black Sea,” due for release at the end of the year. Filmed on a 1970s submarine, Law says filming “was an amazing experience being that many people in such a small space, for that long. It brought on incredible energy and incredible drama.” And next up, Law is to replace Michael Fassbender as Thomas Wolfe in Michael Grandage’s directorial debut, “Genius.” “At the moment I’m up to my elbows reading up and around the wonderful Thomas Wolfe and his relationship with Max Perkins, his editor, who is played by Colin Firth,” Law said.

Marvel’s ‘Guardians’ rockets to top of box office Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — “Guardians of the Galaxy” blasted past expectations at the weekend box office. Marvel Studios’ cosmic romp starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista as members of an intergalactic band of rebels earned $94 million in its debut weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. Ahead of its Friday debut, box office analysts initially projected that the comic book adaptation would earn between $60 million and $75 million in North America. The out-of-this-world launch gives “Guardians” the biggest opening for a film released in the traditionally low-key month of August, a record previously held by the $69.2 million debut of 2007’s “The Bourne Ultimatum.” It also makes “Guardians” the third largest opening of 2014, coming behind the $95 million inauguration of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” in April and the $100 million launch of “Transformers: Age of Extinction” in June. “Guardians,” which also features Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel voicing the computer-generated characters Rocket Raccoon and Groot, was originally considered a risky proposition for Marvel and “Guardians” distributor Walt Disney Co. because it features more obscure characters from the Marvel universe and is set almost entirely in outer space. Despite any apprehension, Marvel was betting on “Guardians,” written and directed by “Slither” filmmaker James Gunn, to be a blockbuster. The studio announced at Comic-Con in San Diego last month that a sequel is already set for release in 2017. Marvel’s next films are the follow-up “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” and “Ant-Man” starring Paul
Rudd and Michael Douglas. Both movies are coming in 2015. Marvel comic book adaptations have dominated 2014 with Sony Pictures’ “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” 20th Century Fox’s “X-Men: Days of Future Past”
and Marvel Studios’ “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” each arriving in first place at the box office on their respective opening weekends. Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Rentrak, believes Marvel is unstoppable at this point. “This is a brand that transcends any character within their universe,” he said. “The mere mention of the name Marvel is enough to get people into the movie theater. That’s somewhat rare. Pixar obviously has a similar cachet, but for Marvel to have four films this year open with over $90 million is amazing. It’s unprecedented success.”

This regulation explicitly governs the distribution of modern retail. Article 22 (point 1 and 2) expressly requires shopping malls and modern stores to sell commodities of domestic products of at least 80 percent of all the existing products. A board of the Association of
Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs (HIPMI) of Bali Chapter, Gede Semadi, said that his party emphatically agreed to the regulation. Moreover, Bali had many local products that were competitive in foreign markets. “As a good resident, we should love local products by buying domestic products,” said
Semadi. Yet, he said that it was something reasonable if there was a rejection especially by modern stores predominantly importing goods. He said that any decision would surely draw pros and cons. “It just needs to find out the best solution in order to get a majority of local products,” he said. Does it have something to do with the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2015? “Indonesia has been an open country from the New Order era. I think that on entering the AEC it will remain the same,” said this successful
businessman. On that account, he hoped the rules should be emphasized, while the employers should not be spoiled and just waited for the government to enforce the rules. A great businessman, he pointed out, should be ready to compete and survive in any condition. “In my opinion, the AEC will not significantly influence us. For instance, the AEC will free labor to work in ASEAN countries. In Indonesia, it has long happened. Actually the AEC just legalizes the practices which have been running for a long time,” he said.
Similar statement was delivered by Agus Mulyawan, a business consultant. He agreed to the regulations made to protect local products. In addition, local products should remain nurtured and empowered so as to be able to compete at the AEC 2015 as well as in the domestic market. “AEC 2015 is aiming to create the ASEAN into a single market and production base unity will be a challenge, considering the population of Indonesia, especially Bali will certainly become a destination market for the products of other ASEAN countries,” he said.
