Over a fortnight after the tragic deaths of esteemed filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Reiner, friends and colleagues are still paying respects to the duo.

A Heartfelt Farewell: Cary Elwes Pays Tribute to His Director

Posting on Instagram, actor Cary Elwes, who was featured in Reiner's 1987 classic *The Princess Bride*, mentioned he finally felt ready to post publicly about his profound loss.

"Enough time has elapsed that I can finally express my sorrow into words," posted Elwes, adding that his first meeting with Reiner left him smitten. "Once we started spending more time together I understood this was someone I wanted in my life."

The actor shared never-before-seen clips from the production, adding that he cannot recall "one day without joy".

"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 guide it," Elwes expressed.

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

Martin Scorsese Reflects on a Colleague and Comrade

In a separate piece, revered director Martin Scorsese also honored Reiner, whom he originally knew in the 1970s.

"From the start, I loved being with Rob. We had a instant connection for each other. He was very funny and sometimes bitingly funny, but he was never the kind of guy who would dominate the room," Scorsese wrote.

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

"He was skilled at improv with the best. He was a virtuoso at comedy, he worked wonderfully with everyone, and he understood the personal struggle of his character," Scorsese wrote.

Court Proceedings: Autopsy Reports Restricted

This week, a Los Angeles court official decided to bar the disclosure of the Reiners' medical examiner's reports, following a petition from the local authorities.

A judicial mandate placed a restriction on the files to limit the public release of "related notes, documents, files or images" associated with the probe.

The coroner's office had earlier stated their deaths were the outcome of foul play, with a official listing listing the cause as "injuries from a sharp object".

Aftermath and Reactions

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

Ex-President Donald Trump commented on the matter, offering provocative claims that were widely condemned by numerous commentators.

Podcaster Joe Rogan lent his criticism to the those speaking out last week. Talking on his show, Rogan labeled the comments as "shocking" and implied they revealed a concerning lack of empathy.

Rogan concluded by suggesting that an associate ought to have stepped in when the choice to speak on the tragedy was made.
