Rhys just attended his first event this year (that I have found pictures of, anyway), the Australians In Film’s 2010 Breakthrough Awards in Beverley Hills. Bella Heathcote was awarded the Heath Ledger Scholarship and Home and Away graduates Ryan Kwanten and Chris Hemsworth were honoured with Breakthrough Awards. Congrats to them :)

Just found this article about Sanctums release. Looks like they have pushed it back to March 2011.

Jim here. Universal has set a release date for JAMES CAMERON PRESENTS SANCTUM 3D: Friday, March 4, 2011 (via Deadline).

The timing puts the diving thriller up against Sony’s PRIEST which will also be in 3D. PRIEST recently had its release date changed from January 14, 2011.

Based on true events, this adventure drama concerns a father and son who are trapped in an underwater cave with a team of divers as the group strives to stay alive against all hope.

Obviously the world is watching this movie as it is the first officially “touched” project from James Cameron since AVATAR, even though he is only producing. Should be a heckuva ride.

Finally I’ve found the episode of the children series Don’t Blame the Koalas that Rhys features in. Rhys plays a boy named Brad, who participates in a cross country race. The series is from 2001, so he looks really young (and cute, of course) and his voice is completely different. I’ll probably upload some video clips on a later occacion ;) But for now, here’s the screencaps.

Thanks to Rhys’ father, Chris, we now know that Rhys has returned to LA for a few weeks and he’s doing lots of auditions! Fingers crossed for him :)

Just found a video from the set of Sanctum, thanks to neutron1 on the IMDB boards. You can’t see Rhys (I think), but it’s totally worth a look!
