Flamin' Hot Cheetos Movie Teaser Burns Real Good
Flamin' Hot, the biopic about the creator of the iconic Flamin' Hot Cheetos, has received its first official teaser. Flamin' Hot Cheetos have been an irreplaceable part of the snack food marketplace since their debut in the early 1990s. The film, which was announced half a decade ago, is now set to premiere on Hulu on June 9.
Today, Searchlight Pictures unveiled the official first look at the Flamin' Hot movie with a brand-new teaser.

The teaser might only be 23 seconds long, but it packs a spicy punch. It depicts one scene from the film, which premieres at SXSW today, featuring a Western-style standoff between a young child and a Flamin' Hot Cheeto prototype.
Everything We Know About Flamin' Ho
One of the most exciting aspects of Flamin' Hot is the fact that it's the narrative directorial debut of Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria. Although she directed several shorts and the documentary La Guerra Civil before this, Longoria is making a bold new step in her directorial career. She also cut her teeth on episodes of major television programs, including Jane the Virgin, Black-ish, and Gordita Chronicles.
While Longoria directed the film, she is not currently slated to appear onscreen, though she may make a cameo. The main cast of the film includes Jesse Garcia as Richard Montaņez, a janitor at Frito-Lay who says that he invented the iconic product, Annie Gonzalez as his wife Judy Montaņez, and Emilio Rivera as Vacho Montaņez. They are joined by Dennis Haysbert, Tony Shalhoub, Pepe Serna, and Longoria's Unplugging co-star Matt Walsh.
So far, specific details of Flamin' Hot have otherwise been minimal. If the teaser is any indication, it looks to be taking on a lightly comic tone, however, given the fact that Montaņez's claims have been disputed, it may take on a more dramatic and socially minded angle as it goes along. Only time will tell, as will the first word from the film's premiere at SXSW.
