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. The Hollywood figures accused of sexual misconduct at the height of the #MeToo movement have seen mixed results at best in their efforts to revitalize their professional careers. But when Trump won the 2024 presidential election amid a backlash to the #MeToo movement, it didn’t take long for Ratner’s fortunes to turn. Variety first reported in January 2025 that he was set to direct the Melania Trump documentary, backed by Amazon.
