First lady Melania Trump is taking center stage, with the first teaser trailer for a highly anticipated documentary dropping Wednesday.
“Melania,” directed by “Rush Hour” auteur Brett Ratner and licensed by Amazon as part of a whopping $40 million deal signed this past January, will follow the Slovenia-born former model during the 20 days leading up to her husband Donald’s inauguration as the 47th president of the United States.
The trailer, which premiered on “Fox & Friends,” opens with the first lady preparing to enter the US Capitol Rotunda for the swearing-in. Clad in her navy Adam Lippes ensemble, Melania turns to the camera as it pans past her face and says, “Here we go again.”
The rest of the preview jumps between Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla.; Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan, and transition team headquarters in Washington, DC., giving glimpses of the crafting of Melania’s strapless inaugural ball gown and the photoshoot that produced her eye-catching black-and-white official portrait.
At one point, Melania listens in on her husband rehearsing a speech.
“My proudest legacy will be that of peacemaker,” the president-elect says.
“Peacemaker and unifier,” the first lady jumps in.
The last signficant action of the trailer is a phone call between the Trumps, in which Melania greets her husband by saying: “Hi, Mr. President, congratulations.”
“Did you watch it?” Donald Trump can be heard asking on the other end of the line, to which Melania answers: “I did not. Yeah, I will see it on the news.”
“Melania” will be released exclusively in theaters Jan. 30.
