Well beyond 14 days following the shocking loss of celebrated film director Rob Reiner and his partner, photographer Michele Reiner, peers and loved ones continue to honor the duo.

Quoting a Classic: Cary Elwes Recalls His Director

Sharing on Instagram, actor Cary Elwes, who starred in Reiner's 1987 classic *The Princess Bride*, mentioned he just recently felt able to post publicly about his profound loss.

"Sufficient time has elapsed that I can finally articulate my loss into words," shared Elwes, noting that his first meeting with Reiner left him smitten. "When we commenced passing more hours together I realized this was someone I desired in my life."

The actor posted never-before-seen clips from the movie, adding that he could not remember "any day without laughter".

"This story is about devotion, fidelity and selflessness. Principles that Rob held dear. That is part of the many reasons he was the best person to guide it," Elwes expressed.

He went on to praise Michele Reiner, noting: "Asserting that they were a incredible duo would be an understatement. My heart still hurts every time I recall you." He finished with a phrase from *The Princess Bride*: "Indeed, death cannot stop true love but existence is agony without you."

Martin Scorsese Recalls a Friend and Collaborator

In a separate piece, revered director Martin Scorsese shared memories of Reiner, whom he initially encountered in the 1970s.

"Right away, I loved being with Rob. We had a instant connection for each other. He was uproarious and sometimes bitingly funny, but he was never the kind of guy who would take over the room," Scorsese shared.

Scorsese pointed out Reiner's acting part in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, portraying the father of the lead role.

"His improvisation skills with the best. He was a expert at comedy, he worked beautifully with his co-stars, and he understood the human predicament of his character," Scorsese added.

Judicial Actions: Autopsy Reports Restricted

This week, a Los Angeles judge ruled to block the publication of the Reiners' medical examiner's reports, at the request from the Los Angeles Police Department.

A court order put a restriction on the investigation to limit the public release of "related notes, notes, reports or photos" connected to the active case.

The relevant authority had earlier stated their deaths were the result of murder, with a official listing citing the cause as "wounds from an edged weapon".

Aftermath and Reactions

In the wake of the deaths, public personalities offered varying comments.

Former President Donald Trump commented on the matter, offering controversial remarks that were widely condemned by several commentators.

Podcaster Joe Rogan contributed his criticism to the detractors recently. Speaking on his program, Rogan characterized the remarks as "disappointing" and implied they showed a troubling absence of compassion.

Rogan ended by suggesting that an associate ought to have intervened when the impulse to comment on the passing was made.
