The Upcoming ‘Flamin’ Hot’ Movie Is All About the Alleged Mexican-American Creator of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos
We are freaking out about the upcoming “Flamin’ Hot” movie, which is set to tell the tale of Richard Montañez, a former Frito-Lay employee who describes creating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos in his memoir. While the film does not have a confirmed release date yet, director Eva Longoria Bastón recently spoke out about it — and gave us all the details.
Longoria Bastón explained to AP Entertainment, “I have ‘Flamin’ Hot’ coming out, that’s the other feature film I also directed during COVID.” As the Mexican-American actress, producer, and director described, “It’s fantastic, a biopic about Richard Montanez [sic], the man who created the Flamin’ Hot Cheeto. It’s a beautiful, inspiring story and it’s not what you expect. It’s not what you think.”
