First Lady Melania Trump is expanding her professional endeavors beyond the political stage, venturing into the entertainment industry with the launch of her production company, Muse Films. The company's first project, a documentary titled "Melania," is scheduled for an exclusive worldwide theatrical release on January 30, 2026.
The announcement was made by the First Lady herself on social media, where she revealed the logo of Muse Films and the promotional material for the upcoming film. The documentary promises an intimate look into Melania Trump's life, focusing on her experiences as First Lady of the United States and her interactions with her husband, President Donald Trump.
According to the movie database IMDB, the film is described as "an intimate chronicle" that offers viewers a rare insight into Melania Trump's life, spotlighting her role as First Lady and her relationship with the President. The production, which began in November, documents the First Lady's day-to-day responsibilities and her transition from private life to the White House.
During an interview with Fox & Friends in January, Melania Trump shared her enthusiasm for the project, stating, "We are shooting right now, so it’s day-to-day life, what I’m doing, what kind of responsibilities I have." She detailed the process of setting up her team, moving into the White House, and the efforts required to make the official residence feel like home.
The New York Post reported that Amazon secured $40 million in licensing rights for the movie, a notable business move considering Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos, attended President Trump's inauguration. The collaboration between the First Lady's production venture and Amazon signifies a substantial investment in the film's potential reach and success.
The announcement on social media was met with a mix of enthusiasm and curiosity. Supporters praised the First Lady's initiative, with one user highlighting it as a "giant leap for women," considering the unpaid roles traditionally held by spouses of presidents. Another user expressed hope for a resurgence of shared cinematic experiences, citing the potential of "Melania" to create a buzz of joy around the world.
Melania Trump's entry into the entertainment sector follows her significant presence in the fashion world as a model in the 1990s and her subsequent role in politics after her husband's election victory. As First Lady, she has been involved in various bipartisan humanitarian efforts and received bipartisan commendation for her work. In May, she played a pivotal role in the passage of the "Take it Down Act," a law aimed at protecting children and families from online exploitation.
The White House described the "TAKE IT DOWN" Act as a historic bipartisan law that addresses the non-consensual distribution of intimate images and deepfake abuse. The First Lady remarked during the signing, "Today, through the 'TAKE IT DOWN' Act, we affirm that the well-being of our children is central to the future of our families and America."
As Melania Trump's documentary prepares to grace the silver screen in 2026, the public eagerly anticipates a closer look at the life of a First Lady who has maintained a degree of privacy despite the global spotlight.
