Japanese `Terminator' poster leaves out Korean actor

A Japanese poster for the upcoming Hollywood action blockbuster "Terminator: Genisys" has omitted Korean actor Lee Byung-hun, who has a supporting role in the film.


The poster shows the main cast, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke and Jai Courtney — but not Lee, who plays a terminator cyborg T-1000.



Why Japan has omitted Lee is a mystery. In 2013, Japan featured him on a poster for the Hollywood action movie "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," in which the actor, 44, played ninja bodyguard Storm Shadow. Lee and American action star Bruce Willis were on the poster.


"Terminator: Genisys," the fifth installment of the Terminator series that began in 1984, is directed by Alan Taylor, who helmed Hollywood action movie "Thor: The Dark World" (2013), the American global-hit TV series "Game of Thrones" during 2011 and "Mad Men" in 2007.

The Terminator series depicts the struggle between the self-aware synthetic intelligence, Cyberdyne Systems Skynet, and the human military resistance led by John Connor after Skynet launched a massive nuclear missile attack.


"Terminator: Genisys" is scheduled for release in July.


'터미네이터5' 日포스터 이병헌 빠져..'의문'

영화배우 이병헌이 “터미네이터 제니시스” 일본 포스터에 등장하지 않았다.

최근 공개된 영화의 일본판 포스터에는 아놀드 슈왈제네거를 비롯해 에밀리아 클라크, 제이슨 클라크, 제이 코트니의 모습이 있다. 하지만 영화에서 사이보그 “T-1000” 역을 맡은 이병헌의 모습은 포스터에 등장하지 않았다.

지난 2013년 일본은 “지.아이.조2” 개봉 당시 할리우드에는 없는 이병헌의 특별 포스터를 제작할 정도로 이병헌에 많은 관심을 쏟았다. 이러한 반면 이번 영화에서 이병헌을 포스터에서 제외한 것은 의외라는 의견이 많다.

“터미네이터 제니시스”는 터미네이터 시리즈의 5번째 편으로, 존 코너가 이끄는 인간 저항군과 로봇 군단 스카이넷의 미래 전쟁과 1984년 존 코너의 어머니 사라 코너를 구하기 위한 과거 전쟁을 동시에 그린다.

영화는 국내에서는 7월 2일, 일본에서는 7월 11일 개봉할 예정이다.
