🐱 Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Movie in The Works

http://variety.com/2018/film/news/f...ie-devon-franklin-fox-searchlight-1202707879/

Fox Searchlight and DeVon Franklin are set to produce the film “Flamin’ Hot,” which will tell the true story of Richard Montanez, who rose from humble beginnings to a successful businessman when he created a food phenomenon — Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

Fox Searchlight nabbed the project in what was a highly competitive sale, with multiple studios vying for the project.

The film follows Montanez, the son of an immigrant, who grew up as a migrant farm worker picking grapes in the fields of Southern California before becoming a janitor at Frito-Lay. It was while working at the company that Montanez came up with the idea to create Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, transforming the Frito-Lay brand into a pop culture phenomenon and disrupting the entire food industry in the process. Now commonly referred to as the Godfather of Multicultural Marketing, it was that initial idea that would spark a billion-dollar brand and catapult him from janitor to elite corporate executive.

Franklin will produce the project through his Franklin Entertainment shingle. Lewis Colick will pen the script from the initial pitch, which he and Franklin developed with Montanez. Samuel Rodriguez will executive produce.

Anikah McLaren and Taylor Friedman will oversee for the studio.

Franklin, who has a first-look film deal with 20th Century Fox, is also currently in pre-production on “The Impossible” for Fox 2000 with “This Is Us” actress Chrissy Metz set to star.

Motherfucker I came here to post exactly this along with some bullshit quip like "hur hur but the Flamin' Hot Cheetos movie has already been out for years you guys".

I have made a super technical map that I totally didn't fuck up in the middle of making and too lazy to fix help better portray this information. Their are some outliers of course, but I'd say this follows the average pattern of white people and spiciness tolerance in the US.

White people within the spicy zone know how to how to handle some spicy food, which is mostly because these states are right on the boarder with Mexico, or in Louisiana's case, they got bomb ass Cajun food.

The pussy zone is made up of white people who can accept a fair amount of spice, but any kind of southwest chili or a proper hot sauce will give them problems.

The ultra pussy zone, i.e. San Francisco and the rest of the Pacific Northwest above it, will fucking sweat bullets if they sample taco bell's hottest sauce. Additionally, instead of putting something like a nice hot sauce or various chili peppers or anything of merit really in their burritos, they will settle for tomatoes and lettuce.

Oh my god, this is really fucking accurate! Although some places in the southeast there are just two extremes. Bell peppers and "You won't taste anything for a month." You ask for hot peppers they're gonna break out the Carolina Reapers, probably in an effort to troll you.

Okay I came in here thinking it was gonna be an animated movie about the mascot but this sounds way less stupid.

Agree to disagree, but I wanted my Chester Cheetah movie.

I think some of these super capsaicin peppers are the culinary equivalent of an edgelord. I do like sauces that incorporate them, like the Trinidad Scorpion Pepper, and pack a significant punch while still retaining flavor. My go-to sauce is Tabasco, but I also usually have at least Dave's Insanity original and a few others in the higher Scoville unit rating.

I no longer ask for extra hot vindaloo, though. Most Indian restaurants these days do it right. There's no real point to prove in eating super hot once you get beyond the culinary edgelord phase and realize food can have other flavors.

I think a good spicy meal should cause a little bit of pain, a fair amount of sweat, and a modest endorphin rush. No need to do the equivalent of spraying mace in your mouth.

I mean as long as my nose is running a little bit, I'm not gonna complain. I tend to like things that are above the midwestern conception of "Hot" but not edgelord hot. To me, salsa with the right amount of heat is usually the first indicator of whether or not a Mexican restaurant is gonna be good. Of course, if they don't serve chips and salsa at all I know right away they're shit.

This sounds as genuine as the Epic Beard Man movie, "Bad Ass," where it depicts the real life bus confrontation of a white man with a beard being harassed by and knocking out an attacking black man.

The movie Bad Ass shows a Hispanic American sitting on a bus quietly where he is attacked by two white Neo Nazis.

I wonder why Hollywood is pushing out pro Illegal Immigrant movies now, showing how great they could potentially be to our economy and country? Think about how great immigrants are, without them, we wouldn't have flamin' hot cheetos! Illegal immigrants truly are the root of our society. God Bless Mexicans (not Mexico though, don't send me back please)

Wait a minute. Why is Mississippi in the pussy zone? That makes no sense.

If he was the son of an immigrant then being born in the US would make the dude a citizen.

 

[Dysnomia]

I didn't realise they were that popular. I don't like Cheetos. Glad it's not some stupid 3D cartoon though. We have enough of those already.

According to this, he's a "Mexican native," which sounds less like he's the "son" of an immigrant but more like he migrated from Mexico to the US himself. It also says he grew up as a child in California, so the story more sounds like, he was a Mexican native, as a child he and his family illegally immigrated to the USA, he drops out of high school, and eventually he gets amnesty and continues working legally as he had been working illegally for the other half of his life before.

He then came up with the idea of putting chili powder on an unflavored cheeto and now he's the reason why we need open borders.
