Prime Video licensed a Melania Trump documentary directed by Brett Ratner


Amazon Prime Video has licensed a documentary about Melania Trump that will be directed by Rush Hour director Brett Ratner, reports Variety. A Prime Video spokesperson told the outlet that the movie will be an “unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look” at the first lady.
The news comes as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has been currying favor with Donald Trump, who heavily criticized Amazon during his first term. That’s included dinner with the President-elect and a $1 million donation to Trump’s inauguration fund, just as other tech CEOs like Apple’s Tim Cook and OpenAI’s Sam Altman have done. Prime Video is also set to livestream Trump’s inauguration.
The film is the first significant Hollywood project that Ratner has taken on since 2017, when several women accused him of sexual misconduct and another of rape, Variety notes. He denied the allegations but parted ways with Warner Bros.
Ratner has some notable ties to the Trumps, including a former partnership with Donald Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin. He also filmed 2011’s Tower Heist largely on-location at Trump International Hotel & Tower and has reportedly run in Mar-a-Lago social circles since his departure from Hollywood life.
Amazon’s Melania Trump documentary has already begun filming and the company plans to give it theatrical and streaming releases starting in the second half of this year, Variety writes.
