Six years later , in 2021 , it was fitting that something very special happened at the red carpet premier of the Cary Joji Fukunaga directed film in Monte-Carlo . Sir Roger Moore , the legendary actor who held a special place in Princess Grace ’ s heart would become an emblem nurturing future legends in film .
