Story summary

Stephanie Renouvin, granddaughter of the late Sir Sean Connery, is directing a new documentary called "Sean Connery: The Untold Story". The project uses footage from Connery’s family archive and is being produced by CAPA, a Paris-based production company. Sally Blake, CAPA's deputy director, told Deadline that the film aims to highlight Connery's universal appeal while leveraging Renouvin's personal connection to the subject in France. Earlier, Renouvin had directed "Madame Sean Connery", focusing on her grandmother Micheline Roquebrune, Connery’s wife and a renowned painter. This latest documentary is another step in honoring Connery's legacy; last month, his family announced plans to establish a film institute in Edinburgh, Scotland, using funds from his estate through the Sean Connery Foundation.
