New trailer released for An American Pickle starring Seth Rogen
An American Pickle revolves around Herschel Greenbaum, an immigrant labourer who falls into a huge vat of pickles and emerges 100 years later in modern day New York
Seth Rogen finds himself having a brine old time in his new time-travelling comedy film.
Directed by Brandon Trost and based on the 2013 short story Sell Out by Simon Rich, An American Pickle revolves around Herschel Greenbaum (Rogen), a struggling labourer who immigrates to America in 1920 and dreams of a better life for his family.
But one day, while working in a factory, he falls into a huge vat of pickles and is preserved for 100 years, until finally emerging, alive, in present-
day Brooklyn.
He must piece together a new life, as he finds himself in a time he doesn’t recognise and without any relatives alive except Ben, his computer programmer great-grandson.
An American Pickle is released on HBO next month, with a UK release date expected in the coming months on Sky.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
