Melania Trump, Amazon partner to release new film about her life in theaters worldwide

5 January 2025 at 03:00

Amazon Prime has exclusively licensed a documentary film for global theatrical and streaming release that will give viewers an "unprecedented behind-the-scenes look" at First Lady Melania Trump's life, Fox News Digital has learned. 

Fox News Digital has learned that the project is expected to be released globally in theaters and for streaming use in the second half of 2025. 

Filming for the upcoming documentary began in December 2024. The documentary will be executive produced by First Lady Melania Trump and Fernando Sulichin of New Element Media, with Brett Ratner of RatPac Entertainment serving as director. 

Prime Video is expected to share more details on the project as filming progresses, and will release plans when finalized, Fox News Digital has learned. 

MELANIA TRUMP TO RELEASE 'COLLECTOR'S EDITION' OF MEMOIR FEATURING IMAGES PHOTOGRAPHED BY FORMER FIRST LADY

"We are excited to share this truly unique story with our millions of customers around the world," an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement. 

The announcement comes just weeks before Mrs. Trump will return to the White House as first lady of the United States of America. 

It also comes months after the release of her first-ever book, "Melania." The memoir presents an intimate portrait of Melania Trump and includes personal stories and family photos she had not previously shared with the public. 

"Melania" has been at the top of the New York Times’ best-selling list since its release to the public. 

MELANIA TRUMP LAUNCHES 'ON THE MOVE' DIGITAL PHOTO SERIES HIGHLIGHTING HER 'FAST-MOVING LIFE'

In November, just days after President-elect Trump was elected the 47th President of the United States, Mrs. Trump also rolled out a digital photography series to highlight her life on the 2024 campaign trail and at home. 

Trump told Fox News Digital in an interview last year that if she had the privilege to serve as first lady again — which she will, beginning on Jan. 20, 2025 — she would continue to prioritize initiatives focused on the well-being and development of children to ensure they have the "support and resources they need to reach their full potential." 

"My focus would continue to be creating a safe and nurturing space for children to learn, grow and thrive," she said.  

During the first Trump administration, Mrs. Trump hosted virtual roundtables on foster care as part of her "Be Best" initiative and focused on strengthening the child welfare system. She worked with members of Congress on legislation that secured funding for grants awarded to youth and young adults currently or formerly in foster care to help pay for college, career school or training. The bill ultimately was signed by then-President Donald Trump in December 2020.

Since leaving the White House, the former first lady has also created special edition Non-Fungible Tokens. A portion of those proceeds also went toward her initiative "Fostering the Future" to secure educational opportunities and scholarships for children in the foster care community.

"Fostering the Future" students are currently enrolled in multiple colleges and universities across the country, with areas of focus primarily on technology and computer sciences. 

"Writing my memoir has been an amazing journey filled with emotional highs and lows," Mrs. Trump told Fox News Digital last year. "Each story shaped me into who I am today." 

She said that "although daunting at times, the process has been incredibly rewarding, reminding me of my strength, and the beauty of sharing my truth." 

Unearthed footage of Barron Trump speaking with mom's accent spreads like wildfire after dad's massive win

24 November 2024 at 10:55

Videos of future first son Barron Trump speaking in a Slovenian accent as a young boy are spreading like wildfire on social media after his father’s massive electoral win earlier this month. 

"I like my suitcase," a 4-year-old Barron Trump said with an apparent Slovene accent in 2010 during a Larry King segment.

The video shows Barron Trump in his father’s office with both of his parents as he grabs a brown suitcase and asks his mom about going to school. 

"I have to go to school now?" Barron Trump asks, again with an accent.

"You have lunch, and then you go to school," Melania Trump responds. 

"Now I’m gonna go?" Barron Trump asks again, speaking with the same accent as his mom. 

"First you will have lunch, then you will go to school," Melania tells her young son as he holds his brown briefcase. 

Clips of the video have spread like wildfire across social media, most notably on TikTok, where users have filmed their own videos imitating Barron Trump, accompanied by the tag "sootcase," as a play on how Barron Trump pronounced "suitcase." 

Social media users have reacted with shock over learning the eventual first son had a slight accent as a young boy, with many calling it "adorable," "cute" and lauding Melania Trump for her close relationship with her young son. The videos had long floated on social media, but are only going viral after Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election this month. 

One user on TikTok said, "i can't help but giggle every time i hear or see this video his Slovenian accent is so cuteness," and another said, "he was adorable," and another saying Melania Trump "seems like an amazingly sweet mom."

Dozens of videos on TikTok have racked up hundreds of thousands of views each, and have even led to social media users creating song remixes of Barron Trump’s accent and social media commenters noting they never knew the first son had an accent as a young boy

Melania Trump, who had a successful modeling career before she became first lady, was born in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia – now Slovenia – and explained in the interview with Larry King in 2010 that her son has an accent because he spent the majority of time with his mom. 

"He has an accent," King noted in a live interview with Trump and his wife after footage of Barron speaking in an accent was aired.

"He spends most of the time with me," Melania Trump responded, before King asked the eventual president, "what do you think of that?"

"I think it's great," Donald Trump responded. "Anything he does is OK with me."

"He speaks three languages, actually," Melania Trump added. 

"Smart one," Donald Trump said. 

In another clip, Donald Trump is seen telling his son to avoid drugs, alcohol and tattoos when he grows up. 

"I want all As," Donald Trump said in the clip. "And when you get older, no drugs. No alcohol. No cigarettes. And, you know what else? No tattoos. I don’t ever want to see tattoos on you."

Footage of Barron Trump in 2009 is also going viral, showing the roughly 3-year-old boy with his mom attending a charity event where Entertainment Tonight held a short interview with the pair. Barron Trump declared his love of playing the drums while again pronouncing his words similar to his mom’s Slovene accent. 

"I like to play drums," he said, adding he wants drums "like on the television" for his birthday. 

Barron Trump is now 18-years-old and attends New York University. The first son overwhelmingly stays out of the public spotlight when compared to his older siblings, such as Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who frequently conduct media interviews and joined their father on the campaign trail.

Barron Trump, who notably stands at about 6-foot-9 and towers over his parents, was seen on stage when his father delivered his victory speech earlier this month after his massive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump wrapped up the election with 312 electoral votes to Harris’ 226, and won the popular vote. 

"Every citizen, I will fight for you, for your family and your future. Every single day, I will be fighting for you. And with every breath in my body, I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America. That's what we have to have. This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again," Trump said in his victory speech, flanked by his family and other high-profile supporters such as tech billionaire Elon Musk and UFC CEO Dana White.
