More than two weeks after the tragic deaths of celebrated filmmaker Rob Reiner and his partner, photographer Michele Reiner, the entertainment community persist in remembering the duo.

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

Sharing on Instagram, actor Cary Elwes, who rose to fame in Reiner's 1987 classic *The Princess Bride*, explained he just recently felt prepared to express about his personal sorrow.

"Enough time has gone by that I can now express my sorrow into words," wrote Elwes, noting that his initial encounter with Reiner created an instant bond. "Once we started spending more time together I knew this was someone I wanted in my life."

The actor shared archival material from the film, commenting that he could not remember "a single day without laughter".

"This story is about love, loyalty and sacrifice. Values that Rob valued immensely. This is one of the many reasons he was the ideal person to guide it," Elwes wrote.

He additionally honored Michele Reiner, stating: "To say that they were a formidable pair would be an understatement. My heart still aches every time I remember you." He concluded with a quote from *The Princess Bride*: "Sure, death cannot stop true love but life is pain without you."

Martin Scorsese Reflects on a Friend and Collaborator

In a distinct essay, revered director Martin Scorsese shared memories of Reiner, whom he originally knew in the 1970s.

"Immediately, I loved hanging out with Rob. We had a innate rapport for each other. He was hilarious and sometimes acutely humorous, but he was never the kind of guy who would take over the room," Scorsese shared.

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

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

Legal Developments: Autopsy Reports Sealed

In a new development, a Los Angeles superior court judge ruled to bar the publication of the Reiners' medical examiner's reports, at the request from the LAPD.

A court order put a embargo on the cases to prohibit the public release of "any investigative information, notes, reports or photos" connected to the active case.

The coroner's office had previously confirmed their deaths were the result of foul play, with a official listing listing the cause as "multiple sharp force injuries".

Response and Criticism

Following the killings, public individuals offered different comments.

Ex-President Donald Trump wrote on the matter, providing controversial remarks that were broadly criticized by numerous commentators.

Podcaster Joe Rogan contributed his criticism to the those speaking out recently. Conversing on his program, Rogan described the statements as "disturbing" and remarked they demonstrated a worrisome absence of compassion.

Rogan ended by suggesting that an aide should have intervened when the decision to weigh in on the death was made.
