Melania Trump Reveals She’s Launching Her Own Production Company Ahead of $40M Amazon Documentary

First lady Melania Trump is moving into the entertainment world with the launch of her own film production company.

On Nov. 28, she revealed the new venture in a brief 10-second video posted to her personal X account, announcing that the company will be called Muse Films — seemingly a nod to her Secret Service code name, “Muse.”

In the same post, she also reminded followers that her documentary, MELANIA, will debut exclusively in theaters worldwide on Jan. 30, 2026.

The low-key rollout stands in contrast to the typically high-profile style associated with the Trump family, who often mark business launches and openings with major publicity and large events. Melania is frequently seen at such occasions and ribbon-cutting ceremonies alongside her husband, President Donald Trump.

At present, there are already two separate entities operating under the name Muse Films: one is a European, Amazon-owned company, and the other is a U.S.-based outfit whose previous titles include The Virgin Suicides, American Psycho and Spring Breakers. It remains unclear whether Melania’s Muse Films is connected to either of those companies or will function entirely independently.

So far, the only confirmed project from Muse Films is her self-titled documentary, which Amazon MGM Studios is set to release after reportedly paying $40 million for the project. The deal was finalized shortly before President Trump’s second term began and around the time Amazon founder Jeff Bezos attended the inauguration.

According to Amazon MGM, MELANIA offers “unprecedented access to the 20 days leading up to the 2025 Presidential Inauguration — through the eyes of the First Lady-elect herself.”

The film promises a behind-the-scenes look at Melania Trump as she oversees inauguration planning, manages the complexities of the White House transition and steps back into public life with her family. With extensive footage of key meetings, private conversations and rarely seen settings, the documentary is positioned as an intimate portrait of her return to one of the world’s most scrutinized public roles.

In addition to the documentary, the agreement grants the studio distribution rights for a multi-episode series that will follow the film.

The project will be directed by Brett Ratner and marks his return to major filmmaking after he was accused of sexual assault and misconduct by multiple women, including Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge, and of outing a then-18-year-old Elliot Page. Ratner has denied the allegations.
