The upcoming Melania Trump documentary that Brett Ratner is directing for Amazon will take viewers behind the scenes at the White House and transition, following the first lady as she hires a staff and moves in to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Trump discussed the project for the first time in an interview with Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends on Monday morning.
“We started the production in November, and we are shooting right now. So it’s a day-to-day life, what I’m doing, what kind of responsibilities I have. People, they don’t really know and they will see it,” Trump said. “It’s day to day, from transition team to moving to the White House, packing, establishing my team, the first lady office, moving into the White House, what it takes to make the residence your home, to hire the people that you need.”
Amazon confirmed development of the Melania trump doc earlier this month, including Ratner’s involvement. Trump is also an executive producer of the film, which is slated to be released later this year in movie theaters and on Prime Video.
The project was described by Amazon as giving “viewers an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look at First Lady Melania Trump.”
According to Trump, the idea for the doc began after the release of her memoir last year.
“The book was such a success, and I’m very proud, and I get so many messages and letters [from readers] how they enjoy the book, and they would love, my fans and people, would love to hear more from me,” Trump said. “So I had an idea to to make a movie, to make a film about my life. My life is incredible. It’s incredibly busy. And I told my agent, you know, I have this idea. So please, you know, go out and make a deal for me.”
