New Delhi, Sep 6 (Ians) Indian driver Gaurav Gill is gearing up for one of the toughest and gruelling rallies in the World Rally Championship (Wrc) calendar-Acropolis Rally in Greece, scheduled from September 8-11.

This will be Jk Tyre driver Gill’s third outing in the Wrc along with co-driver Gabriel Morales from Brazil after the duo delivered some impressive performances in Kenya and Finland.

Popularly known as the Rally of the Gods, the event will cover a total distance of 1,192 km including 16 Special stages of 303 kms. With soaring summer temperatures in Acropolis, the stages of Elatia, Bauxites and Tarzan will become even more daunting as the drivers and their cars can succumb to the twisty, dusty, rock-strewn mountain roads.

On Thursday, the iconic Olympic Stadium in the Greek capital Athens will host a 2km quickfire opener super special stage where cars will run two at a time in front of...

The highly versatile actor talks about his role in the film based off the wonderful true story

Clifton Collins Jr. had one hell of a year in 2009, appearing in a vast array of films portraying vastly different characters such as Star Trek, The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, Brothers and Extract, just to name a few. He's back this year with a starring role in the true-story sports film The Perfect Game, which was released in theaters this past weekend. I've talked with Collins several times over the past year and it's always great to get a chance to speak with him, as he is truly one of my favorite actors working in the biz today. We spoke for so long, in fact, that I'll be splitting the interview into two parts, this part where he talks about this new film and the second part where he discusses the new projects on the horizon.

Check out four new clips from "The Perfect Game" starring Clifton Collins Jr., Cheech Marin, Moises Arias, Jake T. Austin, Gabriel Morales and Ryan Ochoa. The Industry Filmworks United indie family drama opens on April 16th. Living amidst the gritty poverty of 1957 Monterrey, Mexico, a rag–tag group of boys from the wrong side of the tracks discovers the joy of sandlot baseball under the guidance of Cesar, an aspiring Major League Coach thwarted by discrimination. Armed with the dream of playing a real Little League game, the young players defy a total lack of resources, disapproving parents, and widespread prejudice to score their first Little League victory and find themselves at the beginning of a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Relying on their faith, a warm-hearted priest and their love of the game, the nine players and their coach embark on an incredible, record-breaking winning streak that leads them across the border to America,...
