"Enough time has elapsed that I can finally articulate my loss into words," wrote Elwes, adding that his introductory moment with Reiner left him smitten. "When we commenced spending more time together I understood this was someone I desired in my life."
The actor shared never-before-seen clips from the production, remarking that he doesn't recollect "any day without laughter".
"The movie is about devotion, fidelity and selflessness. Things that Rob held dear. That is part of the many reasons he was the perfect person to direct it," Elwes wrote.

Martin Scorsese Reflects on a Friend and Collaborator
In a distinct piece, acclaimed director Martin Scorsese also honored Reiner, whom he originally knew in the 1970s.
"Right away, I loved being with Rob. We had a instant connection for each other. He was hilarious and sometimes bitingly funny, but he was never the kind of guy who would command the room," Scorsese wrote.
Scorsese pointed out Reiner's acting part in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, embodying the father of the protagonist.
"He was skilled at improv with the best. He was a master at comedy, he worked beautifully with his co-stars, and he grasped the emotional dilemma of his character," Scorsese added.
