Rio movie facts, photos and trailers
Rio is an upcoming 2011 3-D computer-animated film from 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios. It is directed by Carlos Saldanha and written by Don Rhymer. The characters are voiced by Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Rodrigo Santoro, Kate del Castillo, Jamie Foxx, Tracy Morgan, George Lopez, Leslie Mann, Jemaine Clement, Neil Patrick Harris and Robin Thicke.
Rio is from the makers of the ‘Ice Age’ films. Set in the magnificent city of Rio de Janeiro and the lush rainforest of Brazil, the comedy-adventure centers on Blu, a rare macaw who thinks he is the last of his kind. When Blu discovers there’s another — and that she’s a she – he leaves the comforts of his cage in small town Minnesota and heads to Rio. But it’s far from love at first sight between the domesticated and flight-challenged Blu and the fiercely independent, high-flying female, Jewel. Unexpectedly thrown together, they embark on an adventure of a lifetime, where they learn about friendship, love, courage, and being open to life’s many wonders. ‘Rio’ brings together a menagerie of vivid characters, a heart-warming story, colorful backdrops, energizing Latin and contemporary music, and family-friendly song and dance.
The film is expected to release on April 8, 2011

Member of the Indian cricket team and support staff pose with the winner trophy during the prize distribution ceremony after the final One Day International (ODI) match between India and New Zealand at M.A. Chidambarm Stadium in Chennai on December 10, 2010.
India rode on a clinical show by their bowlers and Parthiv Patel’s unbeaten half century as they crushed a hapless New Zealand by eight wickets in the fifth and final cricket one-dayer to complete a 5-0 series whitewash here today.
Stand-in captain Gautam Gambhir lost the toss but that proved to be a blessing in disguise as Indian bowlers came up with a disciplined effort to bundle out New Zealand for 103 in just 27 overs, the lowest total for the Kiwis against India in ODIs.
It was India’s second instance of a 5-0 series whitewash against any country, having achieved the feat against England in 2008-09.

At 37, Sachin Tendulkar is definitely at the twilight of his career but the former India captain Kapil Dev thinks otherwise as he feels the champion batsman will carry on to play another World Cup unless India lay its hands on next year’s quadrennial event.
Kapil, India’s only World Cup winning skipper, said that if not for injury, Tendulkar will be a great asset to the Indian team in the mega-event.
‘I feel talking about Sachin (Tendulkar) is an insult to him. He is such an important personal not only for India but for the world cricket. His performance gives strength to the team. He brings in abundance of experience in the team,’ Kapil said during a promotional event for the 2011 World Cup on Thursday (09-Dec-2010).
Sehwag most destructive
He was regarded as the world’s most destructive batsman in his heydays but legendary West Indian Sir Vivian Richards feels Virender Sehwag holds that reputation in modern cricket and India’s chances in the 2011 World Cup will largely depend on the right-hander’s form.
Here for a promotional event for next year’s World Cup, Richards was asked who he considers the most dangerous batsman in present day cricket and the former West Indies captain had no hesitation in naming the dashing Indian opener.
