Melania Trump has launched her own production company, Muse Films, just ahead of a highly anticipated Amazon documentary that promises to provide unprecedented access into her life as she prepares to return to the White House alongside President Trump.
The first lady recently shared an update about her new venture on X, announcing Muse Films and teasing the upcoming film, MELANIA, which will exclusively premiere in theaters worldwide. A short clip accompanying the announcement showcased the company's sleek logo, featuring a silver, superhero-style "M" set against a black backdrop.
As an executive producer on the documentary, Melania is poised to take center stage in a project that claims to capture critical moments from her 20-day journey leading up to Trump's second inauguration. The film promises exclusive footage of private conversations and behind-the-scenes environments, painting a detailed picture of her return to public life with her family.
While the exact role Muse Films will play in the documentary remains unclear, it is evident that Amazon MGM Studios has invested heavily in securing rights for the project, reportedly shelling out $40 million. This deal includes a follow-up docuseries about Melania's life, which will reportedly air on Amazon Prime, and comes just as Trump was reelected.
Brett Ratner, the director behind MELANIA, has faced controversy following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct during his career. Despite largely retreating from Hollywood, he maintains ties to several Trump administration figures and allies, including Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who sold his stake in a film financing firm in 2017.
The film's release has sparked significant interest, particularly given the involvement of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who announced a $1 million donation to Trump's inauguration fund shortly after the deal was struck. As MELANIA prepares to hit theaters, questions surround the extent of Melania's creative control and whether Muse Films will be more than just an arm of her public image.
The highly anticipated documentary has all the makings of a major event, with Amazon investing millions in the project and Melania taking center stage as its driving force. As the first lady readies to re-enter the spotlight alongside President Trump, it remains to be seen how Muse Films will play a role in shaping the narrative of her return to the White House.
