Rhys has a new project in the works, The Philosophers. Here´s what I could find about it:
Marie Claire magazine interviews Bonnie Wright (Ginny Wesley in the Harry Potter films!)
Do you plan to continue on with acting?
I’m in my second year of college at the University of London, University of the Arts at the moment doing film. And I start a new film in June this year that’s an American film set in Jakarta in Indonesia, and I think there are two other Australian actors meant to be in it, Rhys Wakefield and Sophie Lowe.
Right now, my hunger and drive is to really play as many diverse roles as possible. And I think when you’re with a character for 10 years, it’s an awfully long time. For me now, opportunities have very much opened up, so it’s just seizing the right ones and choosing everything right.

Nine newbies ready to break out—and win hearts—as Hollywood leading men.
by Leslie Gornstein, photographs by Hedi Slimane
March 2011
Duck into any scenester depot between Sunset and 3rd, and you’ll spot them: aspiring matinee idols, pretty lads sanguine in their skinny denims and studied slouching. If only that elusive Hollywood fifth element, aka star quality, were the mere sum of blessed bone structure and an adorably terminal case of bedhead. Alas, breaking out of the pack as the next alpha dog—read, Brando/Newman/DiCaprio—demands traits that are difficult to quantify. True stars are born, not groomed, and this year promises an embarrassment of riches. They hail from the four points of the English-speaking world
From striking redhead Eddie Redmayne—who’ll squire Michelle Williams in My Week with Marilyn—to Henry Hopper, barely out of his teens and already a leading man in Gus Van Sant’s tragic romance Restless, the It factor is strong in these guys. And speaking of romance: If you haven’t heard of them yet, the starlets surely have. Collectively, the gossip mags have linked this bunch to beauties ranging from Leighton Meester to Carey Mulligan. It’s only a matter of time before the rest of America falls for them, too.
……………..
RHYS WAKEFIELD
It’s a little too early in his career for Wakefield to be mobbed by the paps—though given his turn in James Cameron’s thriller Sanctum, it won’t be long before this Australia native must bid hooroo to his privacy. Still, success has come at a more immediate cost for the 22-year-old: shut-eye. “There is actually behind-the-scenes footage of me, between scenes in Sanctum, perched with a rebreather on my back, completely nodding off,” he says with a mesmerizing smile. “You get remarkably good at blocking things out when you need sleep. And the world clock on your iPhone becomes your best friend. I said in an interview the other day that I was in Melbourne—but I was in L.A. It’s really the strangest thing.”

On the 28th of February Rhys attended the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards viewing Party. But as Rhys isn´t really well known in the US, I´ve only managed to find pictures with him in the background. It´s better than no pics, right? High School Musical stars Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens in front..
