I'm happy to see the show back. There were a lot of people that got their
career start from that show.

Apatow plans new 'Pee-wee' movie
By WENN.COM
Paul Reubens' man-child alter-ego Pee-wee Herman is set for the big screen
again - the actor has signed a movie deal with producer Judd Apatow.
The Knocked Up director set the project in motion after seeing Reubens'
zany revival of the Pee-wee Herman Show, which ran in Los Angeles from
January to February.
The show was a revamp of Reubens' 1981 stage production that landed the
actor and his beloved character a TV show and a film franchise.
Paul Rust, whose credits include Inglourious Basterds and I Love You, Beth
Cooper, will reportedly pen the new screenplay, which will take Pee-wee on
a gigantic adventure.
Apatow tells Daily Variety, Let's face it, the world needs more Pee-wee
Herman. I am so excited to be working with Paul Reubens - who is an
extraordinary and ground-breaking actor and writer. It's so great to watch
him return with such relevance.
The movie deal follows Reubens' announcement he will take his smash stage
revival to Broadway, for a six-week New York run in November.
The actor previously took the character to the big screen with Pee-wee's
Big Adventure in 1985 and Big Top Pee-wee in 1988.
He retired the character in 1990 after 13 episodes of Emmy Award-winning
children's TV series Pee-wee's Playhouse.
