Melania Trump, the former First Lady, has signed a $40 million deal with Amazon for a new documentary about her life.
America’s former and future First Lady, Melania Trump, has a major $40 million documentary deal with Amazon documenting her life. The documentary, directed by Brett Ratner, will come out in the latter part of 2025. It will be available in movie theaters and on Amazon Prime Video.
The documentary will show a glimpse into her personal and public life. It features Melania’s husband, former President Donald Trump, and son Barron.
Melania Trump is the Executive Producer of the documentary and has a great deal of control over the content and direction of the documentary.
The deal also includes a follow-up docuseries made up of two or three episodes further documenting her life and experiences. Amazon pushed ahead of other bona fide studios such as Disney and Paramount, which captured the considerable interest in Melania Trump’s story.
Melania Trump has built her brand on privacy, and this documentary represents major work and effort on her part to show the public her perspective.
The objective is to show the public Melania Trump as First Lady and on various initiatives, as well as major life differences before and after living in the White House.
The documentary is part of Melania Trump’s larger effort to shape her public image and tell her story on her terms. The release comes shortly after her best-selling memoir “Melania,” and also highlights her increasingly public presence in the media and appearances.
The deal generated both enthusiasm and criticism. Some criticized the high value of the deal and the involvement of director Brett Ratner, a man who has faced previous allegations of misconduct.
With controversy surrounding the documentary, Amazon seems to be excited for it, stating that the documentary tells a unique and compelling story for global audiences. Amazon believes the viewers will appreciate being able to learn more about Melania Trump and her story.
As the release date gets closer, anticipation for it builds. It will provide a new perspective on one of the more private people in modern American political history.
