Melania Trump Documentary Deal with Amazon Announced

Amazon Prime Video is set to release a $40 million documentary about Melania Trump, offering an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at her life as she returns as First Lady. The documentary, directed by Brett Ratner and executive produced by Melania Trump herself, marks Ratner's return to high-profile projects following past allegations of sexual misconduct, which he denies. The film will include appearances by Donald Trump and their son Barron and is slated for a global theatrical and streaming release in 2025. This move aligns with Amazon's recent show of support to the Trump administration, including a $1 million donation towards the inauguration. The project has sparked interest due to Melania's historically private nature and her recent ventures, including a memoir. Additionally, Amazon's involvement contributes to its broader media strategy amid ongoing changes and controversies at the Washington Post, owned by Amazon's Jeff Bezos.
