We have added the trailer for director Spencer Susser's "Hesher", a critically acclaimed drama from last years Sundance film festival that stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Natalie Portman, Rainn Wilson, and Devin Brochu.

"Hesher" is a loner. He hates the world and everyone in it. He has long greasy hair and homemade tattoos. He is malnourished and smokes a lot of cigarettes. He likes fire and blowing things up. He lives in his van, until he meets TJ.

Watch the trailer below;



An official release date for "Hesher" is yet to be announced, though it is expected for a limited release in the US in April.

Loud music. Pornography. Burning crap to the ground. These are a few of Hesher's favorite things. And they are what Hesher (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) brings into the lives of TJ (Devin Brochu) and his father Paul (Rainn Wilson) when he takes up residence in their garage uninvited.

Grief-stricken by the loss of TJ's mother in a car accident, Paul can't muster the strength to evict the strange squatter, and soon the long-haired, tattooed Hesher becomes a fixture in the household. Like a force of nature, Hesher's anarchy shakes the family out of their grief and helps them embrace life once more.
