LOS ANGELES () — Legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese is remembering Rob and Michele Reiner following their shocking murders.
Scorsese wrote a heartfelt essay in the New York Times in honor of the Reiners.
“Rob Reiner was my friend, and so was Michele. From now on, I’ll have to use the past tense, and that fills me with such profound sadness. But there’s no other choice,” Scorsese began his essay.
He recalled meeting Rob Reiner through mutual friends in Los Angeles back in the 70s.
Scorsese said “Misery” is his favorite of Reiner’s films and described “This Is Spinal Tap” as a movie “in a class of its own.”
He called the couple’s deaths “an obscenity, an abyss in lived reality.”
Scorsese concluded his emotional essay with a wish, writing: “… that one day, I’ll be at a dinner or a party and find myself seated next to Rob, and I’ll hear his laugh and see his beatific face and laugh at his stories and relish his natural comic timing, and feel lucky all over again to have him as a friend.”
The Reiners were found dead in their Brentwood home on Dec. 14. Their son, Nick Reiner, 32, was arrested and charged with two counts of murder in his parents’ killings.
