Herschel Greenbaum: Last News

Seth Rogen spent 10 months growing out his beard just to shoot one additional scene for his new movie An American Pickle.The Pineapple Express star takes on double duty in the film, which is based on 2013 New Yorker novella Sell Out, about 1920s factory worker Herschel Greenbaum, who falls into a vat of pickles and is brined for 100 years, only to emerge in his great-grandson’s modern-day New York without having aged a day.Rogen grew out his facial hair to play Herschel first and then went clean-shaven to portray the great-grandson, Ben.“We shot the movie as Herschel and then I shaved,” he explained in a digital premiere for An American Pickle.

Seth Rogen says the invisible work of two different people helped him pull off his performance in HBO Max's An American Pickle. Appearing virtually on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the actor revealed that during one table read, Ike Barinholtz played opposite him.

Seth Rogen has scripted and starred in any number of movies that have pulled inspiration from his life, but he says, the HBO Max time-travel farce adapted from a short story by Simon Rich, is perhaps the story he relates to most.The film stars Rogen as Herschel Greenbaum, a ditchdigger living in a fictional Eastern European country circa 1919.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic“An American Pickle” is a comedy that connects you to something so old world that it seems, at times, to be an artifact of prehistory. No, I’m not talking about Herschel Greenbaum (Seth Rogen), a glumly bearded Orthodox Jewish ditch digger from 1919 who escapes the Cossacks by emigrating from Schlupsk (a fictional Eastern European country) to New York City, where he finds work in a pickle factory and ends up tumbling into a vat of briny cucumbers — only to wake up, 100 years later, like Rip Van Winkle crossed with Tevye.

HBO have shared the trailer for their upcoming new comedy An American Pickle, which sees Seth Rogen starring in two different roles.Set to premiere on HBO Max on August 6, An American Pickle is based on Simon Rich’s 2013 short story, New Yorker.It follows struggling immigrant Herschel Greenbaum (Rogen), who falls into a vat of pickles in Brooklyn in 1920, only to wake up brined and young 100 years later.Rogen also stars as Greenbaum’s grandson Ben, a mild-mannered coder, which doesn’t make sense to the confused time traveler.Directed by Brandon Trost and written by Rich, An American Pickle will see Rogen joined by Succession star Sarah Snook and The Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone.Watch the trailer below:Meanwhile, Seth Rogen has kept fans

Seth Rogen learns how to help himself in the trailer for HBO Max's An American Pickle. The trailer, which dropped on Friday, sees Rogen as a struggling late 20th century farmer named Herschel Greenbaum leaving his old country to pursue his version of the American dream.

Seth Rogen is one of the most reliable names in cinematic comedy. Even on the small screen, anything he creates or produces is almost certainly given an immediate stamp of quality. So, when he has a new project hitting, it’s fair to have a solid deal of confidence in it. Next month, his latest movie is hitting screens, but now through HBO Max, as opposed to theaters. It’s An American Pickle, a very high concept comedy, one that actually got its first Trailer yesterday. You can see it down below, but first, a bit of discussion about it is in order. Spoiler alert: it looks good.
