Elizabeth Olsen will be starring in the upcoming biopic on country western singer Hank Williams 'I Saw The Light.'

The RatPac Entertainment and Bron Studios' project, which had already signed Tom Hiddleston to play Williams, will see Olsen, 25 play the 'Your Cheatin' Heart' singer's wife Audrey Mae, Deadline.com reported.

The film, which would be helmed by Marc Abraham from his own script, is based on the biography by Colin Escott and tells the tale of Williams' meteoric rise to fame, and the price that fame took on his personal life at age 29 of heart failure.

RatPac's Brett Ratner and Bron Studios' Aaron L. Gilbert would produce the film, along with G. Marq Roswell and Abraham, while James Packer executive produces for RatPac Entertainment.
