I Saw the Light (Tom Hiddleston/Elizabeth Olson)...

Singing covers of Hank's songs.

As I recall, the reception was overall mixed.

The film was originally scheduled for release last November, then pushed back to
2016.  My guess, studio didn't think it was a strong contender for
awards season.

But..

Don't think this will be like Walk the Line, where Joaquin Phoenix pretty much nailed Johnny Cash.

LOL @ Marvel's most recycled villain!

So true.

Williams' grandson, singer Hank Williams III, has publicly expressed his displeasure for Hiddleston's singing skills.Soon after Hiddleston's performance of "Move It on Over" at the Wheatland Music Festival, Hank III posted on Facebook, "here is how you do it Tom, You got no moan or soul in your voice," along with a video of himself singing his grandfather's hit. Hank III went on to critique Hiddleston's role, saying "To do a Hank Williams movie the way it should be done you need certain aspects in the mix to make right. It goes way beyond having an American to play the role of Hiram Hank Williams, Sr. for it to be somewhat natural, it needs to be an American from the South who has eaten, lived and breathed these kind of roles before to make more respectable movie on Hank Sr."
