Wil Wheaton Walks 40 Years Of Stand By Me

Wil Wheaton celebrates the 40th anniversary of Stand By Me and shares never-before-heard stories from the making of the iconic film! He talks about working with River Phoenix, Jerry O’Connell, and Corey Feldman, the impact of director Rob Reiner (who was really like a father to all of them), and why the movie still resonates decades later. Will breaks down the unforgettable train track scene, the leech scene, and what it was like filming in Oregon as a kid. He also reveals how Stand By Me changed his life, led directly to Star Trek: The Next Generation, and even played a role in meeting his wife. Plus, Wil opens up about reconnecting with his co-stars years later, the emotional toll of fame, and the real-life inspiration behind Stephen King’s story The Body. He shares memories of River Phoenix, reflects on Rob Reiner’s influence, and explains why Stand By Me remains one of the most beloved coming-of-age films of all time.
