Directed by Hollywood heavyweight Brett Ratner, best known for the Rush Hour franchise, the documentary will later stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Melania shared the announcement on X, writing, “PRESENTING: MUSE FILMS My new production company. MELANIA, the film, exclusively in theaters worldwide on January 30th, 2026.”
According to TheWrap, “Muse” was Melania’s official code name during President Donald Trump’s first term, making its use as her production label both symbolic and unmistakably iconic.
The film promises unprecedented access to Melania’s world during one of the most high-pressure transitions in modern political history. “Step inside Melania Trump’s world as she orchestrates inauguration plans, navigates the complexities of the White House transition and reenters public life with her family,” the official synopsis reads. It also promises “exclusive footage capturing critical meetings, private conversations, and never-before-seen environments.”
In true Melania fashion, the project blends elegance, mystery, and strength — offering Americans an intimate look at a First Lady who has often been more private than her predecessors. And launching a production company under her own Secret Service moniker? That’s a power move.
As the Trump era returns to the global spotlight, Melania is poised to put the former First Lady’s influence, grit, and perspective center stage.
