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.

The short clip doesn’t reveal much, but it’s still giving us all the feels, since it’s the perfect homage to the original. It features several epic moments, including the legendary scene of Rafiki introducing baby Simba to the kingdom on Pride Rock.

Nostalgia will overtake you as soon as you hear James Earl Jones repeating his iconic quote “Everything the light touches is our kingdom. But a king’s time as ruler rises and falls like the sun.” and stay with you long after the teaser is over.

Jones is the only actor from the original version of The Lion King who’s part of the new cast. Donald Glover, Beyoncé, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, and Chiwetel Ejiofor will be in charge of voicing some of our favorite character in this promising remake.

Hans Zimmer and Elton John will also return to their respective roles as composer and songwriter. Jon Favreau, who previously directed the live-action version of The Jungle Book, is in charge of bringing Simba’s story to life.
