The movie, first reported by Fox News.com, came to light weeks after a Wall Street Journal report that Jeff Bezos, the founder and executive chairman of Amazon , planned to donate $1 million to the inaugural fund of President-elect Donald Trump.

Bezos, who has previously been criticized by Trump, also met with the president-elect at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida after his election win over Vice President Kamala Harris.

"Amazon Prime Video has exclusively licensed an upcoming documentary film for both theatrical and streaming release that will give viewers an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look at First Lady Melania Trump," an Amazon spokesperson said Sunday.

"Filming began in December 2024, with an anticipated release in the second half of 2025. Prime Video will be sharing more details on the project as filming progresses and release plans are finalized. We are excited to share this truly unique story with our millions of customers around the world," the spokesperson said.

The Melania Trump movie is being executive produced by Fernando Sulichin of New Element Media and is being directed by Brett Ratner, who in 2017 was accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct. Ratner, who denied the allegations, had not made a movie since then.
