The trailer for a documentary about Melania Trump was released Wednesday and provoked strong online reactions, following earlier reporting that the film was shot over a concentrated 20-day period before the 2025 inauguration and licensed to Amazon MGM in a reported $40 million deal.Directed by Brett Ratner, the film is scheduled to open in theaters on Jan. 30 and later move to Prime Video; reporting says Amazon MGM paid about $40 million, that Melania Trump will receive roughly $28 million, and that her team has sought additional sponsorships starting at $10 million.The trailer mixes spectacle—stilettos, slow motion and a
Hervé Pierre sketch—with quieter moments and has intensified debate over Ratner's return after sexual harassment accusations, reported White House access and appearances by figures including
Fernando Sulichin and
Elon Musk while some online users raised a controversial claim about
Jeffrey Epstein.
