An American Pickle is an upcoming American comedy-drama film directed by Brandon Trost (in his solo directorial debut) and written by Simon Rich, based on his 2013 short story "Sell Out". The film stars Seth Rogen as an Ashkenazi Jew in the 1920s who gets preserved in a pickle jar and wakes up in modern-day New York City, and attempts to fit in with the assistance of his last remaining descendent (also played by Rogen). Sarah Snook, Jorma Taccone, and Maya Erskine also star.
Originally intended to be a theatrical release by Sony Pictures, the rights were sold to HBO Max. It is scheduled to be digitally released on August 6, 2020, and will be the first original film released by HBO Max.
