Brett Ratner<\/a> will be directing a documentary film about First Lady Melania Trump, which will be released later this year by Amazon MGM Studios. Melania Trump herself will be an executive producer of the film along with Argentine filmmaker Fernando Sulichin<\/a>, who was the producer of Snowden by Oliver Stone and Flag Day by Sean Penn.

According to a spokesperson for Amazon, the yet-untitled documentary is designed to give viewers \u201can unpredecented, behind-the-scenes look\u201d at Melania Trump. The project will be Ratner\u2019s first film since six women, including actress Olivia Munn<\/a>, accused him of sexual misconduct in 2017. He was also accused of sexual abuse by Charlotte Kirk<\/a>, a young British actress who accused Ratner of using her \u201cas the icing on the cake\u201d in making a financial deal with Kevin Tsujihara, who left his position as the CEO of Warner Bros. in the wake of the incident.<\/p>\r\n

While no criminal charges were brought against him, Ratner was blackballed by the film community: though he denied all allegations, he was dropped by his agency and made no new films after Rush Hour<\/strong><\/em>.

This is not the first time Ratner\u2019s paths will have crossed with those of Donald and Melania Trump. In 2011, he directed Tower Heist<\/strong><\/em>, which included exterior shots he filmed at various Trump properties, including Trump Tower in New York City. Production notes for that film reveal that \u201cThe real-estate mogul made a point of visiting the set during a break from taping his television series, The Celebrity Apprentice<\/strong><\/em>, several floors up to see how Ratner and the cast were faring.\u201d

Filming for the upcoming Melania Trump documentary began in December 2024, a month after the presidential election that is sending Donald and Melania back to the White House, which they had occupied from 2017 to 2021 before losing the 2020 election to President Joseph Biden.
