Williams hailed from Alabama and was diagnosed with Spina Bifida, which led him to turn to alcohol and morphine for pain relief. He died in 1953 at the of age 29.
The deal includes the rights to Colin Escott's biography about the singer, and most of his recordings with the co-operation of the Hank Williams estate.
Marc Abraham will write the script.
