Well beyond 14 days following the shocking loss of celebrated filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Reiner, the entertainment community persist in remembering the couple.

‘Life is Pain Without You’: Cary Elwes Recalls His Director

Posting on social media, actor Cary Elwes, who starred in Reiner's beloved 1987 film *The Princess Bride*, mentioned he only now felt prepared to share openly about his deep grief.

"Enough time has elapsed that I can now express my sorrow into words," shared Elwes, saying that his initial encounter with Reiner left him smitten. "As we began sharing more moments together I realized this was someone I longed to have in my life."

The actor shared behind-the-scenes footage from the production, adding that he could not remember "a single day without joy".

"This story is about devotion, fidelity and selflessness. Values that Rob valued immensely. Which is among the many reasons he was the ideal person to guide it," Elwes wrote.

He went on to praise Michele Reiner, noting: "To say that they were a great team would be an understatement. My heart still hurts every time I think of you." He finished with a quote from *The Princess Bride*: "Indeed, death cannot stop true love but existence is agony without you."

Martin Scorsese Remembers a Colleague and Comrade

In a separate piece, acclaimed director Martin Scorsese also honored Reiner, whom he initially encountered in the 1970s.

"From the start, I loved being with Rob. We had a innate rapport for each other. He was uproarious and sometimes acutely humorous, but he was never the kind of guy who would command the room," Scorsese said.

Scorsese highlighted Reiner's cameo appearance in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, portraying the father of the protagonist.

"He was skilled at improv with the best. He was a expert at comedy, he worked beautifully with the cast, and he comprehended the emotional dilemma of his character," Scorsese wrote.

Court Proceedings: Autopsy Reports Withheld

Recently, a Los Angeles judge ruled to prevent the release of the Reiners' autopsy reports, following a petition from the local authorities.

A court order issued a restriction on the files to restrict the public release of "related notes, notes, reports or photos" associated with the probe.

The relevant authority had previously confirmed their deaths were the result of homicide, with a public database listing the cause as "injuries from a sharp object".

Response and Criticism

In the wake of the deaths, public personalities shared varying responses.

Ex-President Donald Trump posted on the matter, making provocative remarks that were widely condemned by many individuals.

Podcaster Joe Rogan lent his voice to the detractors recently. Talking on his show, Rogan labeled the comments as "disturbing" and remarked they showed a concerning deficiency of sympathy.

Rogan finished by proposing that an aide could have stepped in when the choice to comment on the passing was made.
