Seth Rogen Plays Dual Roles in 'An American Pickle' Trailer - Watch Now!

The trailer for Seth Rogen‘s upcoming movie An American Pickle has been released!

The film is based on Simon Rich’s New Yorker novella and stars Rogen as Herschel Greenbaum, a struggling laborer who immigrates to America in 1920 with dreams of building a better life for his beloved family.

One day, while working at his factory job, Herschel falls into a vat of pickles and is brined for 100 years. The brine preserves him perfectly and when he emerges in present-day Brooklyn, he finds that he hasn’t aged a day. But when he seeks out his family, he is troubled to learn that his only surviving relative is his great-grandson, Ben Greenbaum (also played by Rogen), a mild-mannered computer coder whom Herschel can’t even begin to understand.

Also starring in the movie are Sarah Snook and Jorma Taccone.

An American Pickle premieres on HBO Max on August 6!
