VIDEO: Tom Hiddleston Stars in Hank Williams Biopic I SAW THE LIGHT

A new international trailer for the Hank Williams biopic, I SAW THE LIGHT, starring Tom Hiddleston has arrived. The film hits theaters on March 25, 2016. Get a first look below!

I SAW THE LIGHT tells the story of Hank Williams, the iconic, influential country singer and songwriter of the 1940's and early 50's whose meteoric rise and fall, including his death at age 29, has become part of American folklore. Writer-director Marc Abraham has created a compelling, historically accurate narrative of Hank's career that examines his tormented creative genius and the turbulent domestic life that inspired him to write some of his best-known songs. By literally going back in time, you see Hank as he was, living his life on his terms, battling his demons and ultimately creating music for the ages.

The 'Thor' star, who spent months honing his impersonation of the legendary country singer, sings such Williams' hits as "Hey Good Lookin,'" "Why Don't You Love Me Like You Used To Do," and "Move It On Over" in the film.

Hiddleston is best known for his role as Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing in Thor (2011), The Avengers (2012), and Thor: The Dark World (2013). He has also appeared in Steven Spielberg's War Horse (2011), The Deep Blue Sea (2011), Woody Allen's romantic comedy Midnight in Paris (2011), the 2012 BBC series Henry IV, Henry V, and the romantic vampire film Only Lovers Left Alive (2013).

In theatre, he has been in the productions of Cymbeline (2007) and Ivanov (2008). In December 2013 he starred as the title character in the Donmar Warehouse production of Coriolanus which played until February 2014. He won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Newcomer in a Play for his role in Cymbeline while also being nominated for the same award the same year for his role of Cassio in Othello.
