Not Inconceivable! "Princess Bride" Cast Reunites After 25 Years

From the Oct. 5, 2012, Chicago Tribune by Rebecca Keegan.

"Twenty-five years after 'The Princess Bride' first stormed theaters, director Rob Reiner, writer William Goldman and cast members Billy Crystal, Robin Wright, Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Carol Kane, Wallace Shawn and Chris Sarandon reunited for the New York Film Festival last week for a boisterous screening of the quotable fantasy-comedy timed to the release of the movie on Blu-Ray.

Writer Goldman admitted to wanting to write a sequel to it, but hasn't come up with one.

"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya.  You killed my father.  Prepare to Die."

Then, there was Billy Crystal ad-libbing many of his lines as Miracle Max.

Sadly, Fezzik, Andre the Giant, is now gone as is the kindly grandfather who read the story to his grandson,

"As You Wish."
