First Look: HESHER

We are at that stage where we need to put away the indie flicks of 2009 that made up stand up and take notice and start thinking about the 2010 films we have to look forward to.   With the recent announcements on what is on the slate for Sundance 2010, we can gather a fairly good inclination as to what some of those films are going to be.

For instance, we have HESHER.   Directed by Spencer Susser, the director who brought us the zombie short, I LOVE SARAH JANE, HESHER stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a death metal slacker who comes down on an already troubled family and its 13-year-old son.   Rainn Wilson stars as the drug addicted father/widower and Natalie Portman plays a local store clerk who also becomes friends with the youngster.   Devin Brochu, last seen as the young Matthew McConaughey in GHOSTS OF GIRLFRIENDS PAST, also stars as the 13-year-old.

Today, courtesy of the fine people over at /Film, we have our first stills from this upcoming film.   You already know, but just looking at the pictures, you can tell without reservation that this is going to be another amazing performance given by Gordon-Levitt.

HESHER makes its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.   Actual showtimes and dates have not been announced yet.
