There’s a documentary about Melania Trump on the way — and it has a Miami connection
As she takes on the role of first lady for the second time, we’ll be learning more and more about Melania Trump.
The 54-year-old mother of one, who released a self titled memoir last year, is the topic of an upcoming documentary, Variety reports.
The as yet to be named project will be streamed on Amazon’s Prime Video, as well as have a small theatrical release later this year, the e-giant announced.
The director is none other than Miami Beach’s own, Brett Ratner, known for such box office hits as “Rush Hour,” “X Men: The Last Stand” and “Tower Heist.”
In a press release, Amazon called the film an “unprecedented, behind the scenes” look at the native Slovenian who’s been married to Trump for almost two decades. The couple will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary on Jan. 22, two days after No. 45’s inauguration in Washington, D.C.
The new doc marks Ratner’s first high-profile gig in years. In 2017, during the height of the #MeToo movement, the Los Angeles Times reported that six women had come forward accusing the Miami Beach Senior High grad of sexual misconduct.
Through his lawyer Marty Singer, Ratner “vehemently denied” all claims and no charges were ever brought, but his career took a hit. As per IMBD, his last known producing credit was for 2019 political drama “Georgetown” starring Annette Bening and Christoph Waltz.
Ratner has not commented on his latest gig, for which shooting is currently under way. But he recently shared an Instagram post in Palm Beach, where the Trump compound Mar-a-Lago is located. The 55 -year-old filmmaker was pictured in a car with local real estate mogul Todd Michael Glaser.
“The good life,” said the caption. “#PalmBeachProper.”
