Melania Trump has signed a $40 million deal with Amazon for a documentary about her life, directed by Brett Ratner, with appearances by her husband Donald and son Barron.
The film will chronicle her journey from Slovenia to the US and her transformation from... model to First Lady, with Melania demanding full control of the creation and a share of the profits.
Amazon beat out Disney's $14 million bid for the film that will be the last link between Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and President-elect Donald Trump.
The company announced in December that it plans to donate $1 million to the President-elect's inauguration fund and said it will also stream Trump's inauguration on its Prime Video service, a separate in-kind donation worth another $1 million.
Bezos and Trump have had disagreements in the past. During his first term, Trump criticized Amazon and protested the Bezos-owned Washington Post's political coverage. But he has taken a more conciliatory tone recently as Amazon and other tech companies seek to improve their relationship with the incoming president.
So, the Melanie Trump film marks the first project Ratner has directed since he was accused of sexual harassment by several women, including actress Olivia Munn, in the early days of the #MeToo scandal in November 2017. Fernando Sulichin, an Argentinian director , is the executive producer of the film, which began shooting in December.
The documentary began filming in December, a month after Donald Trump was re-elected, and is expected to be released in mid-2025, a few months after he takes office. (A2 Televizion)
