Hetfield will reunite with director Joe Berlinger, the man behind Metallica documentary Some Kind of Monster.
"Having spent hundreds of hours behind the scenes with James and the rest of Metallica, I have experienced his charisma and powerful presence close up," Berlinger said.
"It seemed only natural that he would bring that same power and magnetism to a dramatic role, so when he agreed to my pitch that he be in the movie, I was thrilled."
The film, entitled Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile, will also star Lily Collins, John Malkovich, Haley Joel Osment and Jim Parsons.
