Brett Ratner

Brett Ratner is a film director known for movies like 'Rush Hour' and 'X-Men: The Last Stand'. He is currently newsworthy due to his involvement as the director of the 'Melania' documentary, which follows Melania Trump in the 20 days leading up to Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration. The film initially had a strong debut, earning $7 million domestically and being touted as the strongest documentary opening in over a decade. However, it experienced a significant drop in viewership in its second week, and there are reports of pulled screenings and concerns about inflated ticket sales. Furthermore, Ratner has been pictured with Jeffrey Epstein in recently released documents, drawing additional scrutiny. The film's release in South Africa has also been cancelled due to unspecified "recent developments."
