Melania Trump launches production company ahead of documentary

Producing and starring in a buzzy documentary about her prominent yet under-the-radar life was just the beginning for Melania Trump, who has now launched her own production company.

The first lady announced the launch of "Muse Films" on social media with a brief video unveiling its official logo.

The company will make its debut with the upcoming film titled "Melania," which is slated to release in theaters nationwide Jan. 30 and later on Amazon's Prime Video streaming service.

The documentary showcases the 20 days before the former model returned to the White House following President Donald Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20.

"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 film logline reads. "With exclusive footage capturing critical meetings, private conversations, and never-before-seen environments, 'Melania' showcases Mrs. Trump's return to one of the world's most powerful roles."

'Rush Hour' director leads documentary following assault allegations

Melania Trump serves as an executive producer while Brett Ratner ("Rush Hour") is the director. The documentary comes as Paramount is currently developing "Rush Hour 4," with Ratner set to return along with stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, according to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.

In 2017, six women accused Ratner of sexual harassment and assault, including actresses Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge, amid the #MeToo movement. The fourth film was put on hold.

The greenlighting of "Rush Hour 4" follows a specific request from President Trump, according to Semafor.

The Trump administration's Federal Communications Commission recently approved an $8 billion merger with Paramount Global and Skydance Media. The new chairman and CEO is David Ellison, the son of Larry Ellison, who is a close ally of Trump.
