Picha iliyoundwa na AI

First Lady Melania Trump has announced the launch of her production company, Muse Films, via her official social media channels. The move coincides with the upcoming release of a documentary about her life, titled Melania, directed by Brett Ratner. The film, produced by Amazon MGM Studios, will premiere in theaters on January 30 before streaming on Prime Video.

Production Company Announcement

Melania Trump revealed the formation of Muse Films on November 28, 2025, sharing a motion video of the company logo on her social media accounts. The name 'Muse' references her Secret Service code name during Donald Trump's first term as president. This launch marks Trump's entry into film production while serving as First Lady, drawing comparisons to Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground Productions, which debuted after his presidency and earned an Oscar for American Factory in 2022.

Documentary Details

The documentary Melania, directed by Brett Ratner, offers an intimate look at the 20 days leading up to Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration from Trump's perspective. It features exclusive footage of meetings, private conversations, and behind-the-scenes moments as she manages inauguration preparations, White House transition, and her return to public life. Amazon MGM Studios acquired the rights in January 2025, with production starting in December 2024. Trump serves as an executive producer alongside Fernando Sulichin of New Element Media.

The film will receive a limited theatrical release on January 30 in the U.S. and select international markets, followed by an exclusive run on Amazon Prime Video. This project highlights Trump's role in one of the world's most influential positions, providing rare insights into her experiences.

Trump supporters on X celebrate Melania Trump's Muse Films launch as a promising 'unwoke' venture ahead of her documentary. Critics offer satire on potential films and skepticism over Amazon's involvement. Journalists note the company's Secret Service code name link and $40M deal neutrally.
