On Fire is an upcoming biographical film written by Gregory Poirier, directed by Sean McNamara, and starring William H.

It is based on John O'Leary's book On Fire, The Seven Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired life.[1]
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.[3] 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]
