The film is based on Simon Rich’s short story Sell Out, which was published in The New Yorker in 2013 and is set for an August 6 release date. Brandon Trost, Rogen’s frequent collaborator, worked with Rogen on This Is The End, Neighbors, The Interview, and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising will be directing the film.

An American Pickle follows Rogen’s Hershel Greenbaum, a Polish immigrant who comes to the United States in 1920 to live the American dream. He works in a pickle factory and after falling in the brine, he travels to the future in 2020 where he meets his great-grandson, Ben (also played by Rogen). Although the two are from different generations, they try to relate around family values, culture, and music. Along the way, Ben helps Herschel adapt to the 21st-century culture and Herschel helps Ben cope with his parent’s death.

Rogen also produced the film with Evan Goldberg and James Weaver. Also starring in An American Pickle are Sarah Snook, Sean Whalen, Jorma Taccone, Joanna Adler, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Geoffrey Cantor, David Mattey, Charles Rogers, and Kevin O’Rourke.

An American Pickle is officially heading to the forthcoming streaming service after it acquired the film’s worldwide rights. According to Variety, HBO Max bought the film from Sony Pictures so it wouldn’t be delayed in light of theater closures.

The film, an adaptation of the 2013 New Yorker series Sell Out by Simon Rich, stars Seth Rogen in dual leading roles. An American Pickle is directed by Brandon Trost from a script by Rich. Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver are producing for Point Grey. Rich, Alex McAtee, and Ted Gidlow are exec producing. 

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to be partnering with HBO Max to release this film,” Rogen said. “We worked very hard and put as much of ourselves in this story as possible. We’re very proud of the end result and we can’t wait for people to get to see it.”
