Over a fortnight subsequent to the heartbreaking passing of esteemed filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Reiner, friends and colleagues persist in remembering the couple.

Quoting a Classic: Cary Elwes Recalls His Director

Posting on Instagram, actor Cary Elwes, who was featured in Reiner's 1987 classic *The Princess Bride*, stated he just recently felt able to express about his profound loss.

"Sufficient time has passed that I can at last articulate my loss into words," posted Elwes, noting that his initial encounter with Reiner left him smitten. "Once we started passing more hours together I understood this was someone I wanted in my life."

The actor uploaded archival material from the production, adding that he could not remember "one day without laughter".

"The movie is about love, loyalty and sacrifice. Things that Rob cherished deeply. This is one of the many reasons he was the perfect person to direct it," Elwes continued.

He also paid tribute Michele Reiner, noting: "Asserting that they were a incredible duo would be an oversimplification. My heart still pangs every time I remember you." He finished with a line from *The Princess Bride*: "Sure, death cannot stop true love but living is anguish without you."

Martin Scorsese Remembers a Fellow Artist

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

"From the start, I loved being with Rob. We had a instant connection 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 lead role.

"He could improvise with the best. He was a expert at comedy, he worked seamlessly with his co-stars, and he grasped the personal struggle of his character," Scorsese wrote.

Judicial Actions: Autopsy Reports Restricted

Recently, a Los Angeles court official decided to block the disclosure of the Reiners' post-mortem findings, following a petition from the LAPD.

A legal directive put a restriction on the files to prohibit the public release of "all case details, evidence and photographs" associated with the ongoing investigation.

The Medical Examiner's office had earlier stated their deaths were the result of murder, with a official listing noting the cause as "wounds from an edged weapon".

Aftermath and Reactions

Following the tragedy, public figures offered divergent responses.

Ex-President Donald Trump wrote on the matter, providing controversial claims that were widely condemned by many commentators.

Podcaster Joe Rogan added his criticism to the those speaking out recently. Speaking on his show, Rogan labeled the statements as "disturbing" and remarked they showed a worrisome deficiency of sympathy.

Rogan concluded by remarking that an associate could have acted when the decision to comment on the tragedy was made.
