Trump-Branded Kennedy Center Books A Film Premiere That Totally Makes Sense
HuffPost
The new documentary on a major figure in Trump world is reportedly set to be screened at the performing arts center in January.
The Kennedy Center, which was recently rebranded to honor President Donald Trump on the building’s facade, is set to host the premiere of a documentary on Melania Trump, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
The film, titled “Melania,” follows the first lady in the days leading up to the president’s second inauguration. A theatrical release is scheduled for January 30, before the movie is available for streaming on Amazon’s Prime Video platform later in the year.
HuffPost has reached out to Amazon for comment about the premiere location.
Directed and produced by “Rush Hour” director Brett Ratner, “Melania” is the first film he’s made since at least six women accused him of sexual harassment or misconduct during the height of the “Me Too” movement.
The announcement about the “Melania” premiere was published just days after a Trump-appointed board of trustees voted to rename the center to “The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.” Earlier this year, the president installed himself as the board’s chairman and fired 18 board members before assembling the MAGA gaggle. The shakeup led many on the board to resign and sparked the cancellation of an eight-week run of the Broadway musical “Hamilton.”
