Seth Rogen plays an immigrant from the 1920s who, after a century-long dream in a brine tub, wakes up and meets his great-grandson (also played by Rogen) in the first trailer for An American pickle.
In the trailer for the HBO movie Max, Rogen plays Herschel Greenbaum, who emigrates to the United States with his wife in hopes of pursuing the American dream.
“One day, while working at his factory job, he falls into a pickle tank and is brined for 100 years. The brine preserves it perfectly and when it emerges in today’s Brooklyn, it discovers that it has not aged a day, “HBO Max said of the film.
“But when he searches for his family, he is concerned that his only surviving relative is his great-grandson, Ben Greenbaum (also played by Rogen), a well-mannered computer programmer that Herschel cannot even begin to understand.” “
As Ben’s parents also died, the two Greenbaums are connected by their shared pain, with Herschel motivated by his centuries-old promise to bring fortune to the Greenbaum name.
An American pickle, based on New Yorker The Simon Rich novel, and directed by Brandon Trost, premieres on HBO Max on August 6.
