New Melania Trump Show Launching After Amazon's Big Movie Losses
A senior advisor to the first lady promised it offered "a completely different look" to the movie.
Amazon is set to release a new documentary series centered around Melania Trump, according to a senior adviser to the first lady. This announcement comes shortly after Amazon incurred significant financial losses with a previous documentary about Melania, titled "Melania." Marc Beckman, the adviser, revealed on the conservative news network Real America’s Voice that the docuseries will air this fall, providing viewers with a fresh perspective on Melania's life and work.
While the documentary was released in January, capturing 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, it grossed only $16.6 million worldwide, falling short of its $40 million investment. The film drew criticism for its negative reception and controversial elements, including the involvement of director Brett Ratner, who faced allegations of sexual misconduct in 2017.
Additionally, the documentary's release timing was questioned due to the unrest around Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations and legal scrutiny over potential anti-bribery law violations. The docuseries promises to delve deeper into Melania's private life, family dynamics, career, and philanthropy, offering a more comprehensive view of her role as first lady.
