Feldman, O’Connell, and Wheaton are scheduled to reunite for a 40th-anniversary tour celebrating “Stand by Me,” which is set to begin March 13 in Pittsburgh.

Insiders told the outlet Feldman hoped the tribute would be an opportunity to celebrate the filmmaker’s legacy alongside others who worked closely with him.

According to the report, Feldman and some of his former co-stars have contacted the Academy seeking clarification about the tribute plans. So far, they reportedly have not received a response.

Reiner and his wife were found dead in their California home on December 14 after suffering fatal stab wounds.

Authorities later charged their 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, in connection with their deaths.
