Last week a call sheet from Terminator: Genesis was leaked detailing a scene which featured a Brinka armored truck and LAPD police patrol car, the scene was to feature the characters Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke), Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) and allegedly a T-1000 played by Byung-Hun Lee in the guise of a police officer. there was also mention on the call sheet of a character called Guardian - presumably Arnolds aged Terminator character. After posting the news of the call sheet we were asked by Paramount Pictures to remove the image.
It seems, thanks to images shown in the UK newspaper the Daily Mail, that the call sheet was in fact genuine with the below images showing the filming of a car chase scene featuring the stunt doubles for Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney and (although we can only see the back of their head) Byung-Hun Lee. Presumably The T-800 is driving the Brinka truck, much as he did in the iconic SWAT van/Helicopter chase from Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
The eagle eyed will recognize Jai Courtney's stunt double's costume matches that worn by Michael Biehn in the original 1984 movie The Terminator. Emilia Clarke's stunt double's costume however does not match anything worn by Linda Hamilton in the aforementioned movie. Taking cues from Kyle Reese's costume and the style of the LAPD Police patrol car, it looks as though this car chase is set in 1984, overlapping the events of the first instalment.

If Byung-Hun Lee's casting as a T-1000 is genuine, which would seem to be the case with the above pictures matching those described in the aforementioned call sheet, then this would mean that this new T-1000 was sent back to 1984 after Robert Patrick's T-1000 was sent to 1994 (Terminator 2). This is due to the fact, as hardcore fans will be quick to remind, that Robert Patrick's T-1000 was an advanced prototype, and as such was the only one of his kind. Any subsequent T-1000's would have to have been sent back post July 11th 2029 (the date the first T-800, Kyle Reese, the reprogrammed T-800 and the prototype T-1000 were sent back to their respictive times of 1984 and 1994).
This would mean another time-travel incursion in addition to the known three (the first 3 Terminator movies), possibly writing out the events of the third movie, while altering slightly the events of the first two movies, thus creating a new alternate timeline where John Connor doesnt die July 4th 2032 and possibly yet another, later date for the infamous Judgment Day than the known July 24th 2004.
