Rob Reiner (1947-2025)

Tous les lecteurs de CINEMA INFERNO ont le coeur triste, aujourd'hui.

When the film ("STAND BY ME") was almost done, Stephen King was staying at a hotel in Beverly Hills and asked to see it alone. We set up a screening, and waited outside with Rob for 90 minutes. We knew when the film would end, so we showed up and could hear the end credits music running. It ends, but Stephen still hasn’t come out! So we’re thinking, “Oh Christ, he hated the movie and left in the middle!” Rob goes to open the door and see if anyone’s in there, and Stephen emerges with tears running down his face, and he said, "Those were my friends."
