Well beyond 14 days following the shocking loss of renowned film director Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Reiner, friends and colleagues are still paying respects to the duo.

Quoting a Classic: Cary Elwes Recalls His Director

Posting on social media, actor Cary Elwes, who rose to fame in Reiner's 1987 classic *The Princess Bride*, explained he only now felt able to share openly about his profound loss.

"Enough time has passed that I can finally articulate my loss into words," shared Elwes, noting that his first meeting with Reiner created an instant bond. "Once we started passing more hours together I understood this was someone I desired in my life."

The actor shared behind-the-scenes footage from the movie, adding that he could not remember "one day without laughter".

"The movie is about devotion, fidelity and selflessness. Principles that Rob held dear. Which is among the many reasons he was the ideal person to guide it," Elwes continued.

He additionally honored Michele Reiner, saying: "Asserting that they were a incredible duo would be an oversimplification. My heart still hurts every time I think of you." He concluded with a quote from *The Princess Bride*: "Sure, death cannot stop true love but life is pain without you."

Martin Scorsese Recalls a Friend and Collaborator

In a distinct tribute, revered director Martin Scorsese shared memories of Reiner, whom he first met in the 1970s.

"Immediately, I loved spending time with Rob. We had a innate rapport for each other. He was hilarious and sometimes sharply witty, but he was never the kind of guy who would command the room," Scorsese said.

Scorsese mentioned Reiner's supporting role in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, embodying the father of the main character.

"He could improvise 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 wrote.

Court Proceedings: Autopsy Reports Withheld

In a new development, a Los Angeles court official ruled to bar the publication of the Reiners' autopsy reports, after an appeal from the Los Angeles Police Department.

A legal directive issued a embargo on the files to limit the public release of "related notes, evidence and photographs" connected to the active case.

The relevant authority had already determined their deaths were the consequence of murder, with a official listing listing the cause as "wounds from an edged weapon".

Fallout and Commentary

After the killings, public personalities offered different responses.

Ex-President Donald Trump wrote on the matter, providing provocative claims that were broadly criticized by numerous individuals.

Podcaster Joe Rogan contributed his voice to the those speaking out recently. Talking on his program, Rogan characterized the comments as "disturbing" and implied they demonstrated a troubling absence of compassion.

Rogan finished by remarking that an aide could have stepped in when the decision to speak on the tragedy was made.
