Tom Hiddleston has traded the Queen's English for a Southern drawl in his new film.

The first trailer for I Saw the Light, a Hank Williams biopic starring the English actor, has finally arrived. And Hiddleston seems to be in fine country form, droppin' his g's and strumming the guitar just like Williams would.

Dark and dramatic, the film looks like 2016's version of Walk the Line. It costars a tortured Elizabeth Olsen as the famed country singer's wife.

I Saw the Light will hit theaters on March 25.
