In a surprising move, Amazon has agreed to a $40 million deal to produce a documentary centered around Melania Trump, the former First Lady of the United States. The project, which will be directed by Brett Ratner—a filmmaker recently re-emerging in the industry after facing allegations during the #MeToo movement—promises to explore Melania Trump’s journey and experiences during her time in the White House. Ratner, who has directed numerous box office hits, stated, ‘This documentary will provide a personal perspective on Melania’s life and her role as one of the most talked-about First Ladies in American history.’ Melania Trump herself has expressed her enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing her desire to share her story in her own words. The production is set to begin later this year, with a release date yet to be announced. This collaboration between Amazon and Ratner highlights the growing trend of media companies exploring high-profile figures from recent political history, and could draw considerable interest from audiences looking to understand the complexities of Melania Trump’s life beyond the public persona.
