When Donald Trump was elected to the presidency in 2024 after being found liable for sexual abuse, his political victory set in motion another comeback — for director and producer Brett Ratner. Now, Ratner is back directing and producing with “Melania: 20 Days to History,” a documentary, premiering Thursday and in theaters Friday. Amazon MGM Studios paid an eye-popping $40 million for the rights to the film, which follows Melania Trump in the days and weeks leading up to the 2025 inauguration. Ahead of its official premiere, Ratner and Melania Trump, an executive producer of the documentary, hosted a private screening for VIP guests at the White House on Saturday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Variety first reported in January 2025 that he was set to direct the Melania Trump documentary, backed by Amazon.
