. Chávez spoke to Bleeding Cool about Longoria's persistence in recruiting her, the creative liberties in telling Montañez's story, and her success story.How 'Flamin' Hot' is a Story in the American DreamIt's based on Richard Montañez, the creator of the Flamin' Hot Cheeto. It came to me through Eva Longoria almost four years ago, which is crazy.
A movie must be exciting, with ups and downs and a strong arc. You must have character relationships that are going to be exciting. If you told a story exactly how someone told you their life, you'd be a little bit bored waiting for those exciting moments. I went in and had a conversation with Richard, and for me, it was about mining the moment, so we're going to be excited in a film. Luckily, he has a lot of freaking exciting moments in his life.
It came to me as a film though I'm sure Richard would love for it to be turned into a show [laughs]. That's what I went into it with, which made sense for what it is and what the story is. Richard has so much experience, and it was hard to put it all, containing it all into one story for this film. He does have the type of story that could last episodes, but we told the story of him creating it and getting to where he got to, and it makes for a powerful, powerful one.
