Macy, John Corbett and Joel Courtney, the latter portraying John O'Leary, a real life St. Louis native who survived fire burns which covered his entire body.[1] It is based on John O'Leary's book On Fire, The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life.[2]
It is set to be released in the United States and Canada on October 10, 2025 by Sony Pictures Releasing.
In October 2023, it was announced that Macy, Corbett, Courtney and several other actors were cast in the film. Since the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike was occurring at the time, the filmmakers were granted an interim agreement to allow the film to be made.[1] Filming began in Missouri in November 2023.[4][5] Filming specifically occurred in Maplewood, Missouri.[6] Filming also took place in Saint Louis University.[7]
Mark Isham was hired to compose the score.[8]
