Eva Longoria is preparing to release her directorial debut Flamin’Hot. But the most curious thing about the news isn’t that… After all, many actors/actresses have thrown themselves behind the camera.
What is unusual is that by the time it premieres on June 9, the film will not be seen on a streaming platform (hulu) but in two at the same time (Disney+).
While Hulu caters to North American audiences, Disney+ caters to a global audience.
what happens…
So what is Eva’s first film as a director about?
As the synopsis describes, Flamin’Hot is the “inspirational true story of Richard Montañez (Jesse Garcia) who, as Frito-Lay’s keeper, broke into the food industry by channeling his Mexican-American heritage to transform Flamin’ Hot Cheetos from a snack into an iconic cultural phenomenon . ”.
Eve speaks
“I’m so excited for the world to see this flaming‘Heat on these two streaming platforms; thus, an inspiring and universal story like this will be able to access an even larger audience,” Longoria said.
“Now everyone can celebrate the joy, power and heart of this film that also uplifts Latinos both in front of and behind the camera.”
Meanwhile, Searchlight presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield raved about Longoria’s “inspirational film,” calling it “a joy to experience.”
“We couldn’t be happier that it will now be available to more families and audiences around the world,” they said.
“From the moment I stumbled upon author Richard Montañez’s story seven years ago, I knew it would resonate and inspire audiences around the world,” added producer DeVon Franklin.
“I am so grateful to Searchlight, Hulu, and now Disney+, for giving us this historic opportunity to bring its uplifting true story to to more than 200 million subscribers worldwide!
Flamin’Hot even stars Annie Gonzalez as Richard’s wife, Judy; Emile Rivera as Nacho, Richard’s father; Dennis Haysbert as Richard’s mentor Clarence and a four-time Emmy Award winner Tony Shalhoub such as PepsiCo CEO Roger Enrico. Other cast members include Matt Walsch (Look), Bobby Soto (narcos) AND Pepper Serna (Scarface).
mansion for sale
By the way, and speaking of Eva, just these days, the star of desperate housewife (Gabrielle, how can we forget her) has just put one of her properties up for sale, a mansion in Beverly Hills, California. Price: $23 million.
It will be a great deal, no doubt. When they took over the property, the couple – she bought it together with her husband Pepe Bastón – had to pay a total of 13.5 million dollars.
Without a doubt, it is an incredible residence that not only stands out for being gigantic and very elegant, but also for the great privacy it offers to its inhabitants. The property is located away from noisy areas, while being in one of the most popular areas of Los Angeles.
This house was built in the nineties, precisely on a plot of land that had more than 5,700 square meters. An important fact is that in addition to being gigantic, it also has views that are second to none. With the construction of the house, that size was reduced and it became 3,300 m2 divided into two levels.
