The T-1000, also known as a Prototype Series 1000 Terminator, is a fictional shapeshifting android assassin, serving as the primary antagonist in ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' , as well as a minor antagonist in ''Terminator 2: 3-D Battle Across Time'' and ''Terminator Genisys''. A similar T-1000 Terminator appears in the 2007/08 FOX television series, ''Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles'', where it is referred to as a "T-1001".〔(Fox.com )〕 Created by the series' long-running antagonist, Skynet, the T-1000 is described in ''Terminator 2'' as being composed of a mimetic polyalloy (nanorobotics), whose body is composed of liquid metal that allows it to assume the form of other objects (commonly knives and stabbing weapons) or people, typically terminated victims.〔(Scifiscripts.com )〕 Therefore, it is portrayed by multiple actors in the film. It is further explained in the prologue of the film's novelization, that the T-1000 was created through nanotechnology, and is a 'Nanomorph', able to scan the molecular structure of whatever it is touching and visually mimic it.〔''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' by Randall Frakes, James Cameron and William Wisher (Jun 1, 1991)(ISBN 0-553-29169-6)〕 In ''Terminator 2'', the T-1000 is portrayed primarily by Robert Patrick, and in ''Terminator Genisys'', by Lee Byung-hun.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=So I found this today. Date was for yesterday. : Terminator )〕 In ''Terminator 2'' and ''Terminator 2: 3-D Battle Across Time'', the T-1000 is presented as a technological leap over the "800 Series" Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger).〔Trailer of ''Terminator 2'' has the Schwarzenegger character identified as 800 Series Model 101"〕 Described by Allmovie as "one of the most memorable roles in one of the most memorable films of the decade",〔(Robert Patrick, All Movie Guide biography at The New York Times )〕 Patrick's portrayal of the T-1000 earned him nominations for Best Villain and Best Supporting Actor at the 1992 MTV and Saturn Awards and was ranked #39 in the Online Film Critics Society's "Top 100 Villains of All Time" in 2002.〔("Top 100 Villains of All Time" ). Online Film Critics Society. Archived at Wayback Machine.〕 == Creation == Teaser trailers for ''Terminator 2'' deliberately withheld the notion that the T-1000 character was the villain. A tagline for the film was ''"This time there are ''two''. Terminator 2."'' Prior to the film's release, Robert Patrick was promoted as portraying "Austin", the name on the T-1000's police uniform's ID tag. Writer/director James Cameron stated that his original intention for the sequel was that both Terminators sent to the past would be T-800s like the one played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, with one being stripped down to a metal endoskeleton like the one from the original film. Once Cameron actually started working on the script, in 1990, he figured a better way was to turn the evil Terminator into a more advanced model.〔"Interactive Modes", ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' Blu-Ray〕 Cameron's original pick to play the T-1000 was rock musician Billy Idol, and storyboards had the robot resembling him, but a serious motorcycle accident prevented Idol from accepting the role. Then, he thought of casting actor Michael Biehn, who played Kyle Reese in ''The Terminator'', in the role with the explanation that Skynet managed to clone Reese's body and use it for a new Terminator. Cameron ultimately dropped this idea after deciding the audience would find it too confusing. Eventually casting came down to Robert Patrick, as a deliberate contrast to the original Terminator: "I wanted to find someone who would be a good contrast to Arnold. If the 800 series is a kind of human Panzer tank, then the 1000 series had to be a Porsche." For a more machine-like performance, Patrick had to learn how to both fire a pistol without flinching (or blinking) and run effortlessly without heavy breathing or signs of exhaustion.〔 The development of computer-generated imagery (CGI) by Industrial Light & Magic to manipulate, re-create, and "morph" the image of an actor was used in the creation of the T-1000 character in the film. The computer graphics composed 6 of the 15 minutes that the T-1000 displays its morphing and healing abilities. The other 9 were achieved in camera with the use of advanced animatronic puppets and prosthetic effects created by Stan Winston and his team, who were also responsible for the metal skeleton effects of the T-800.〔''The Winston Effect: The Art & History of Stan Winston Studio''〕 The visual effects used in ''Terminator 2'' to create the T-1000 won the Academy Award for Visual Effects.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences )〕 Entity FX, Inc. is responsible for the visual effects of the T-1001 on ''Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles'', along with the digital animation of endoskeletons, Hunter-Killers, and the future war sequences on the second season of the show. The company also contributed the digital imagery of feature films James Cameron's ''True Lies'' and ''Titanic''.〔''Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles'' End Credits〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Entity Fx )〕 In ''Terminator Genisys'', the effects of the T-1000 were made by British effects company Double Negative, also responsible for the T-3000 and T-5000 terminators. The animation was mostly similar to how it was done in ''Terminator 2'', only with more advanced fluid simulations. To properly depict the liquid metal being dissolved by acid, Double Negative's artists studied acid burning through aluminum, and had its final distorted forms inspired by ''The Thing''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「T-1000」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
