Amazon Prime Video has licensed a documentary about Melania Trump that will be directed by Rush Hour<\/em> director Brett Ratner, reports Variety<\/em><\/a>. A Prime Video spokesperson told the outlet that the movie will be an \u201cunprecedented, behind-the-scenes look\u201d at the first lady. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The news comes as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has been currying favor with Donald Trump, who heavily criticized Amazon during his first term<\/a>. That\u2019s included dinner with the President-elect and a $1 million donation to Trump\u2019s inauguration fund, just as other tech CEOs like Apple\u2019s Tim Cook and OpenAI\u2019s Sam Altman have done. Prime Video is also set to livestream Trump\u2019s inauguration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The film is the first significant Hollywood project that Ratner has taken on since 2017, when several women accused him of sexual misconduct<\/a> and another of rape<\/a>, Variety <\/em>notes. He denied the allegations but parted ways with Warner Bros. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ratner has some notable ties to the Trumps, including a former partnership with Donald Trump\u2019s Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin. He also filmed 2011\u2019s Tower Heist<\/em> largely on-location at Trump International Hotel & Tower and has reportedly run in Mar-a-Lago social circles since his departure from Hollywood life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
