Twenty-five years ago Rob Reiner made a little film called Stand By Me narrated by Richard Dreyfuss with 4 virtually unknown actors (Wil Wheaton, Jerry O’Connell, Corey Feldman, and the late River Phoenix) and this week the 4 actors stood by the director and got to together to honor that big anniversary.
Can you believe that timeless movie was made in 1984 and how much the cast has changed? Wheaton, 37, is now a blogging visionary, O’Connell, 37, is no longer the fat kid from Stand By Me and Feldman, 39, is now as much a musician as an actor? I wonder if they knew back then that some of
what was said at the ending of the movie would kind of mirror how their lives would turn out? Wheaton is the writer, O’Connell has been steadily acting, Feldman had his issues and Phoenix would be the first one to die out of the four?
OK enough sadness, don’t they all look wonderful? I so loved Stand By Me back when I was kid and now again and again as an adult.
