Overview
- Stand by Me returned to select theaters for a one‑week engagement starting Friday, as Wil Wheaton, Jerry O’Connell and Corey Feldman hit the road for a reunion tour.
- In interviews published Friday, Feldman said the March Oscars tribute to Rob Reiner felt like “a family reunion I wasn’t invited to” and lamented that no one onstage got to speak from the heart.
- The Academy’s March 15 tribute, introduced by Billy Crystal, brought more than a dozen Reiner collaborators onstage, including O’Connell and Wheaton, and the Academy has not explained its invitation decisions.
- Wheaton’s new audiobook of Stephen King’s The Body is available now, and he said he deliberately echoed River Phoenix’s performance in a key scene as a way to honor his late friend.
- Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were killed in December 2025, their son Nick was charged with two counts of first‑degree murder and pleaded not guilty, and the pending case continues to shape how tributes are received.
