Metallica have granted the filmmakers of independent film Hesher the use of some of their songs for the soundtrack. Hard to believe? Maybe a little. Metallica aren’t known for lending their music to many movie causes. But but it sure didn’t hurt that film co-star Rainn Wilson of The Office praised Metallica’s music, calling the black-clad metallers “The Beatles of heavy metal.”
Hesher also stars Oscar-winner Natalie Portman.
