Rob Reiner Dead: ‘The Princess Bride’ Director Found Dead With Wife https://variety.com/2025/film/news/rob-reiner-dead-princess-bride-spinal-tap-1236608541/
God damn way to bury the lede with that title. He’s an old guy I assume found dead in his home means he died like of old age or cardiac arrest or something. Not that it’s potential double homicide.
And reports now saying it’s their son
Hello, my name is Nick Reiner. You killed my father. Prepare to die…
Well, this is awkward.
I hate I lold at this.
Yeah, it didn’t feel good to write either.
People is reporting it.

I’m not saying he didn’t do it. In fact I’m pretty sure at the end of the day it will come out that he did.
But Pepperidge Farm remembers when news reporters remembered to use the world “allegedly” in their headlines until after the trial was concluded.
I remember lots of over the top and ironic use of that term years after the Simpson trial, too, since nearly everyone thought he did it.
It’s still really wild how Norm Macdonald was one of the few people who wasn’t a cowering pussy about it…but probably lost his job at SNL over it.
He definitely lost his job over it.

Their son Nick is in custody for the crimes. RIP Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner. Reiner brought so much hilarity and joy.
Reports now coming in that it was their son, Nick. Tragic

People has some helpful links at the bottom of their story. No, People, I don’t like this, I don’t want to read this:
Spinal Tap II just came to HBO on Friday. Rob Reiner was amazing in that.
Man, I remember when he played Archie’s son-in-law Meathead, married to Archie’s hot daughter, Gloria. And in real life his dad was Carl Reiner, another amazing genius.
I genuinely expected Rob to live to 98, just like his old man did. This is horrible. RIP.
Stand by me is one of my all time favorite movies. Evan as a kid the campfire scene where Chris talks about who stole the lunch money makes me tear up even today. It’s such a terrible thing to wake up to hear of Rob and Michelle’s death. RIP to you both, you may be gone but you will not be forgotten ever.
Inconceivable! Sorry but I think Rob would appreciate these kinds of jokes.
I had seen that Spinal Tap 2 just hit the digital format on the 12th. I wonder if that is at all related, assuming his son did it…
Inconceivable!
