South Korean action star Byung Hun-Lee has been generating a small storm recently in action movies Red 2 and G.I. Joe Retaliation. While the actor has yet to achieve the hollywood stardom of fellow martial artist actor Jet Li, there is no denying his action movie abilities.

 

A while ago we reported that the actor had been cast in the controversial new instalment to the the Terminator franchise - Terminator: Genesis, speculating it was likely he would be playing a Terminator of some description. We feared that we were in store for a repeat of 1993's science fiction flop RoboCop 3, suspecting that Lee would be cast as a ninja Terminator.

Thankfully our fears were unfounded as according to an alledged call sheet posted on Reddit from Terminator: Genesis (filming title - Vista) which details a scene involving Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) and Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) in a car chase involving a police car and a Brinka armored truck. Interestingly The call sheet states that Lee is cast as a Cop/T-1000. While it is possible that Lee is playing a police officer that a T-1000 imitates, the stars martial arts background and rising stardom in hollywood suggest Lee is in actual fact a new T-1000.

Call sheet removed at request of Paramount Pictures.

The T-1000

American actor Robert Patrick (X-Files, Fire In The Sky, The Unit) rose almost overnight to international recognition in 1991 when he starred in that summers blockbuster Terminator 2: Judgment Day as the movies antagonist - The T1000.

An advanced prototype, the series 1000 Terminator was a specialized infiltration unit composed entirely of mimetic poly alloy (liquid metal). Impervious to damage from firearms, the only units only weakness was exposure to extreme temperatures. The units vscous liquid composition allowed the series 1000 to imitate any object, organic or inorganic, that it had "sampled" by touch - so long as the source object was of similar mass or size as the unit itself. Most beneficially, the T-1000 primary means of infiltration was its capability of imitating humans. Yet the unit was unable to form complex machines, moving parts and/or chemicals, but was capable of fashioning blades and stabbing weapons to harm or terminate its targets.

 

While it is highly possible that Skynet followed the advanced prototype T-1000 with an actual field model, presumably in limited production numbers, and while it is also possible that like the series 800 there will have been more that one base model number, based on a different individuals cloned DNA. It is unlikely that a second series 1000 was ever developed after the prototypes failure to terminte 9 year old John Connor in June of 1994.
