In a move straight from Fat4All's diet:
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.

I just saw this today and that thread was the first thing I thought of. Sounds like a very interesting story, I hope the movie turns out good.

I thought this was going to be a joke animated movie or something, but it sounds pretty interesting. Flamin Hot branded foods are everywhere and I always wondered where it comes from. I love going through the Flamin Hot thread we have here just to see new stuff.

Really looking forward to it. Flamin' Hot Cheetos have remained a cornerstone of American junk food for a long time now, and this man is a legend for taking the product in that direction to begin with.

Will this adopt those Cheester Cheetah ages were he was a bond like agent?

Cause if so this could be a hot movie.

Edit:

It's about the Damn creator of the flavor. I mean, sure, but now I hope he's a depressed man with an imaginary friend cheester cheetah talking him out of his misery.

i recommend the Flamin' Hot peanuts. has the flavor of Flamin' Hot, but the spice levels are fairly low because the coating isn't too thick

That honestly sounds like it could be a decent movie. The brief description indicates that the story could be inspiring.

For some reason I was expecting an animated movie starring the cheetah and was like why, but I could get behind this.

This guy's story is amazing. He's created something that every single kid from elementary through high school knows about for about twenty some odd years. Much respect to a true food legend.

In the '50s & '60s, a visit to the theater meant a short cartoon, maybe a newsreel, and a screen made softer and more hazy by wafting blue clouds of cigarette smoke. In the 2010s, it's more like a half hour of commercials for other movies, an ignored reminder to turn off the computer in your pocket, and that wispy blue cloud has been replaced by a dusty, orange thunderhead, thanks to Frito Lay's Cheetos Popcorn at the concession stand! You'll gain three pounds just BREATHING THE AIR at your next blockbuster.
