MUMBAI: Starring Seth Rogen in the lead role, the trailer of An American Pickle is out now. Though Rogen plays a dual role in the film, it also stars Sarah Snook, of Succession fame, in a key role. The film will premiere on HBO Max.

Here, Seth Rogen plays the role of a European immigrant who has moved to the US for a better life in 1920. Somehow, he meets with an accident and wakes 100 years later. He then proceeds to meet his only surviving descendant, his great-grandson (not surprisingly played by Rogen himself) The premise of the story sounds as awesome as it sounds completely nuts.

The film looks great, despite the silly story. Silliness has never stopped a piece of entertainment from being enjoyable (case in point: Thor: Ragnarok), and indeed this Brandon Trost directorial is appearing to embrace its zaniness.

An American Pickle starts streaming on August 6.
