Seth Rogan Gets Preserved in Brine
HBO Max launched the primary trailer for the Seth Rogen comedy “An American Pickle” on Friday.
Directed by frequent Rogen collaborator Brandon Trost, the comedy relies on Simon Rich’s New Yorker novella “Sell Out” and stars Seth Rogen in twin roles as Herschel Greenbaum, a struggling laborer who falls right into a vat of pickles and is brined for 100 years, and Ben Greenbaum, the great-grandson who greets Herschel when he emerges from the pickle brine with out having aged a day.
The movie will premiere on the streaming service on Thursday, Aug. 6. Watch the trailer above.
Rich tailored his personal story for the display. Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver are producers for his or her Point Grey productions. The government producers are Rich, Point Grey’s Alex McAtee and Ted Gidlow.
HBO Max acquired the rights to “An American Pickle” again in April in a cope with Sony Pictures in order that the movie wouldn’t be delayed as a result of coronavirus theater closures, the brand new service introduced Monday.
