Seth Rogen is re-teaming with Sony Pictures to play a pickle maker in an upcoming movie based on Simon Rich’s New Yorker novella that was initially published in 2013, Variety has confirmed.
The film stars Rogen as Herschel Greenbaum, a struggling laborer who immigrates to America in 1918 with dreams of building a better life for his beloved family.
Rich will be writing the screenplay and cinematographer Brandon Trost will make his directorial debut on the project.
He is currently working on the live-action/CGI hybrid re-imagining of The Lion King, where he will voice the character of Pumbaa.
