Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Rainn Wilson have joined the cast of Natalie Portman's indie film Hesher.

The Spencer Susser-directed project revolves around a man in his twenties who becomes a bad influence on a 13-year-old boy. Gordon will play the eponymous character, while Wilson has been cast as the boy's medication-dependent father.

Portman, also a producer on the project, will appear as a supermarket employee who saves the boy from a bully.

Hesher begins shooting next week in Los Angeles.
