I found this article about Rhys going to attend the Australian International Movie Convention, where exclusive clips of Sanctum will be shown! Really exiting :D

Cameron’s Coast convention back-up
Maria Lewis | August 14th, 2010

FAMED film director James Cameron is backing up at the Australian International Movie Convention (AIMC) on the Gold Coast this year showing sneak-peek footage of his 3D underwater epic Sanctum at this week’s event.

Cameron blew delegates away when he showed exclusive footage from his blockbuster Avatar last year, now, 12 months later, he is set to do the same.

Star of the Sanctum, Rhys Wakefield, and producer Andrew Wight will attend the event at Jupiters Hotel and Casino on Wednesday when Universal Studios will present the scenes.

Sanctum, filmed on the Coast earlier this year, is in post-production in Melbourne where the visual effects and final touches are being added.
Director Alister Grierson told the Bulletin that it will be a ‘very exciting’ event.

”It won’t be the fully finished version but what you will see will be in 3D,” he said.

“Universal pictures are really excited and pumped up to do the release and it’s rare an Australian film gets this amount of positive review and anticipation before it’s out.

“We’re doing some pick-up shots and have built a mini set here for visual effects, so we’re very close to finishing.”

Although he and executive producer Cameron will not be attending the convention.

“I flew over to LA and screened a version for Jim about a month ago and he really enjoyed that,” he said.

“He had some tips on how to improve it and a few nips and tucks.”

Sanctum is just one of the dozens of films that will be previewed over the five-day convention, which starts with the Queensland premiere of Tomorrow When The War Began at Jupiters Hotel and Casino tomorrow night.

Hollywood stars Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell will walk the red carpet at Event Cinemas, Robina, on Wednesday night for the Australian premiere of The Other Guys.
