Melania Trump has announced the launch of her new production company, Muse Films, coinciding with the upcoming release of her documentary. The film, titled Melania, is set for a worldwide theatrical debut on January 30, 2026, distributed by Amazon MGM Studios. It marks her entry into film production amid other Hollywood developments involving director Brett Ratner.
Announcement Details
On November 28, 2025, Melania Trump revealed the formation of Muse Films via a social media post. The company is positioned ahead of the release of her self-titled documentary, Melania, which explores aspects of her life. The film is directed by Brett Ratner, a filmmaker previously accused of sexual misconduct by six women in credible reports.
Trump shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), stating: "PRESENTING: MUSE FILMS My new production company. MELANIA, the film, exclusively in theaters worldwide on January 30th, 2026." The post included an image promoting the project.
Production and Distribution
Amazon MGM Studios will handle the worldwide theatrical distribution for the documentary. This launch comes shortly after reports that Paramount Pictures greenlit a new installment in the Rush Hour franchise, also directed by Ratner. Sources indicate the decision was influenced by Donald Trump, making it the first film in the series in 18 years since Rush Hour 3 in 2007.
Context and Background
Ratner's involvement has drawn attention due to his past controversies, including allegations from 2017 that led to professional repercussions. The project represents Trump's pivot into entertainment production following her time as First Lady. No further details on the documentary's content or additional projects under Muse Films have been disclosed in the announcement.
This development highlights ongoing connections between political figures and Hollywood, though reactions remain mixed given Ratner's history.
