Terminator Star Addresses Returning for a 1990s Cult Sci-Fi Sequel [Exclusive]

Robert Patrick, iconic star of Terminator 2, is ready to return to that other sci-fi franchise that helped make him famous.

The 1990s are rightly looked at as a high point for genre movies. It was the decade where IP across all major genres graduated from indie and mid-budget beginnings to blockbuster-level films. But while there were big movies in every genre that went on to become classics, the ’90s also gave rise to a new crop of filmmakers willing to break barriers and bridge genres, creating new kinds of films that became cult hits for a generation of fans.

Actor Robert Patrick is one of the bigger icons to emerge from ’90s cinema. Patrick had a breakout role trading gunshots with Bruce Willis’ John McClane, as one of the main terrorist henchmen in. He next became an international star, thanks to his role as the relentless “T-1000” in James Cameron’s. Playing a killer robot from the future cemented Patrick in the ’90s pop-culture zeitgeist, so much so that he made cameos as the character in other films like-style takeover by a parasitic alien. Patrick’s football coach, Joe Willis, is the first on the school’s faculty to get infected, turning the emotionally-explosive old jock into a docile silver-tongued charmer, with the actor always flashing his signature wolfish stare. By the end of, Patrick was chewing scenery in over-the-top mania. It was proof that, for all his impressive range as an actor, Robert Patrick is always at his best in a villain role.. ComicBook got a chance to sit down with Patrick during the press junket. We had to ask how he personally feels about, 27 years later, and if he would ever want to play in that world again, via a sequel or some other project. For his part, Robert Patrick still claims thatis “a good movie” in his filmography. When it comes to the possibility of him returning? He’s more than game for it. “I would love that,” Patrick said. “There was some talent in that movie. Shawn Hatosy. Josh Hartnett. Jordana Brewster. Elijah Wood. Clea DuVall. Usher. Famke Janssen. Salma Hayek. Jon Stewart. The late, great Piper Laurie. Bebe Neuwirth. I had fun with that one.”was a one-of-a-kind collection of talent that all went on to do bigger things in the 2000s. Elijah Wood became an icon as Frodo Baggins intrilogy; Josh Hartnett became one of the top young leading men/heartthrobs of the decade; Jordana Brewster became a star of the) Salma Hayek, and Usher need no explanation.was a self-contained story, but it always left enough room for the larger lore of the invading alien race to continue in a new setting. Rodriguez’s film had deep subtext about teen angst as the 21st century approached: loneliness and social ostracism, drug use, conformity vs. rebellion, sexual identity…used body-snatching horror and hive-mind brainwashing as a metaphor for it all.
