Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Aaron Eckhart is on a run of action movies like The Bricklayer, but this unlikely career pivot was predicted by a forgotten thriller from 2012. Eckhart is an actor who first came to people's attention for dark dramas like In the Company of Men, before moving into more mainstream fare during the 2000s, such as goofy blockbuster The Core.
2012's Erased Predicted Aaron Eckhart's Action Makeover This forgotten Taken riff showcased Aaron Eckhart's action potential Erased RActionThriller Erased is a 2012 thriller film directed by Philipp Stölzl. The story follows Ben Logan, a former CIA operative, who must use his skills to protect his daughter when her life is threatened after she is targeted by a criminal organization.
The film ultimately felt like a project where Eckhart was trying out his action chops to see how well the genre fit. Erased scored a dismal 30% on Rotten Tomatoes, and earned $1.3 million worldwide . It wasn't a success during its limited run in the U.S. in May 2013, though Eckhart enjoyed a solid hit that same year with Olympus Has Fallen.
A quick rewrite could have turned Chief of Station into a direct Erased sequel, but given how the latter came and went in 2012, it would be strange if they tried to make a belated follow-up. The big difference between the films is that Chief of Station was helmed by action veteran Jesse V. Johnson , so there is a bigger focus on the action.
