Eraser: Reborn Reboot of the Classic 90s action film
Eraser: Reborn is an HBO Max original film that reboots the 1996 action. HBO Max had been remaking properties from the 90s and early 2000s lately, and it is another of their coming collection of remakes and reboots. Some fans are vocal that they should have cast Arnold again if they want another Eraser movie. I’ll give this action flick the benefit of the doubt and judge it after watching it.
The original movie starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Vanessa Williams. In the 90s, it made over $242.3 million at the box office. Dominic Sherwood of Shadow hunters fame will not be the new Eraser for the new generation. He won’t be playing the John Kruger role that Schwarzenegger played 26 years ago. Sherwood instead plays a new character named Mason Pollard. The Eraser is Pollard’s moniker. He specializes in creating faked witness deaths that leave no indication of their existence. Some witnesses go with a new identity to start a new life, but others hide so they can testify before the trial.
Eraser: Reborn Official Trailer
If you want to make a comparison, Here is the trailer of the Original.
Rina’s (Jacky Lai) life is in danger after she witnesses a heinous crime that involves powerful people. She was put under the witness protection program, and Marshal Mason Pollard, the eraser, deleted her existence. “You just been erased”. It is his final words after he dropped a dead body wearing Rina’s clothes from the top of the building. She thought she was safe, but she would instead need more protection as a hitman is pursuing her to end her life. Marshall will try everything to protect the life of the witness, even if it means defying the orders of his superiors. Eraser: Reborn will be available for video in Demand this June 7, 2022, and eventually to HBO Max.

(NOTE: $23 million in 1996 equals $42 million in 2022.)
Let’s hope the reboot is also successful. Although from what I’ve read about it, it doesn’t sound like it will be that good.
