On the festival circuit in the US and Canada for the last few months, I Saw The Light is finally approaching its wider release in the early months of next year. And heralding that, here's a new trailer, showcasing Tom Hiddleston as country music legend Hank Williams. Loki sings!
I Saw The Light sees Marc Abraham directing this own screenplay, adapted from Colin Escott’s biography of the man who scored hits with songs such as Your Cheatin’ Heart, I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry and Lovesick Blues. Williams, who died in 1953, is still considered one of the most significant country music artists and rose quickly, burned brightly and died at the age of 29 from heart failure brought on by pills and alcohol.
The likes of Elizabeth Olsen, David Krumholtz, Bradley Whitford, Maddie Hasson, Cherry Jones, Josh Pais and Wrenn Schmidt are also in the movie, which shot last year in Louisiana.
I Saw The Light gets its full US release on March 25. We get it a few weeks earlier in the UK on February 5.
