Well beyond 14 days following the shocking loss of esteemed filmmaker Rob Reiner and his partner, photographer Michele Reiner, the entertainment community continue to honor the duo.

Quoting a Classic: Cary Elwes Remembers His Director

Writing on social media, actor Cary Elwes, who was featured in Reiner's 1987 classic *The Princess Bride*, mentioned he finally felt ready to express about his profound loss.

"Enough time has passed that I can now express my sorrow into words," shared Elwes, noting that his first meeting with Reiner left him smitten. "As we began passing more hours together I realized this was someone I wanted in my life."

The actor posted behind-the-scenes footage from the film, adding that he cannot recall "a single day without joy".

"This story is about love, loyalty and sacrifice. Values that Rob held dear. This is one of the many reasons he was the best person to helm it," Elwes expressed.

He additionally honored Michele Reiner, stating: "To say that they were a incredible duo would be an understatement. My heart still hurts every time I remember you." He finished with a quote from *The Princess Bride*: "Sure, death cannot stop true love but living is anguish without you."

Martin Scorsese Reflects on a Fellow Artist

In a different essay, revered director Martin Scorsese paid homage to Reiner, whom he initially encountered in the 1970s.

"From the start, I loved hanging out with Rob. We had a instant connection 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 acting part in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, playing the father of the protagonist.

"He was skilled at improv with the best. He was a expert at comedy, he worked wonderfully with everyone, and he comprehended the human predicament of his character," Scorsese added.

Judicial Actions: Autopsy Reports Sealed

Recently, a Los Angeles court official decided to bar the release of the Reiners' medical examiner's reports, after an appeal from the Los Angeles Police Department.

A court order placed a embargo on the cases to prohibit the public release of "related notes, notes, reports or photos" pertaining to the probe.

The relevant authority had earlier stated their deaths were the result of murder, with a record citing the cause as "injuries from a sharp object".

Former President Donald Trump posted on the matter, offering provocative statements that were widely condemned by several public figures.
