Haha, this should be interesting, to say the least.

 

[Brother Jack]

Tim Burton needs to direct this.

 

[Octoberist]

The old Tim Burton would be wonderful. The current Burton would phone it in.

*Sigh*, you're right.

 

[Jackasscoley15]

If Burton directed this now he would replace Reubens with Johnny Depp.

 

[Octoberist]

*Sigh*, you're right.

Visually, it would be nice but the he has lost his creative spark 10 years ago. Despite the crazy visuals, the direction of his current movies have been dull and strangely standard.

 

[Dr. Evil]

only because I was a fan of Pee Wee Herman as a kid.

I would say the last movie that he really stretched himself with was Big Fish, though Sweeny Todd was nice.

Anyone remember Lawrence Fishburne in Pee Wee's Playhouse?

At least we get the return of Pee Wee Herman. Same cannot be said unfortunately for Ernest P Worrell.

I GOT The first one i didn't like the second one.. i hadn't seen it in ages. i hope it like the tv show or the first moive. they need to bring back pee-wee herman.

 

[Octoberist]

the second one was awful. I liked the absurdity of the first film.

 

[Tissues]

Like.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I enjoyed the first movie. The second one wasn't that great, although it did have Benecio Del Toro in it.

Also, I wonder which actor from the Office/Parks and Rec universe will be in this film, since Judd's had a history of having these people in his films.

I grew up watching Pee-Wee's Playhouse as i'm sure a lot of you guys did but I think it's just too late to try to resurrect this character. I saw Reubens as Pee-Wee on Conan about six months ago but I just don't see him being popular again.

I could easily be wrong of course but I just think this is a bad idea. It seems like something that should have been a DTV movie as opposed to a theatrical release.

I just saw the title of this thread alone and it made me go whaaaaaaa...

Did you not hear about the hype and praise he got for his Live Show in LA. It was popular that he's taking the show to Broadway. People love him, or at least the response thus far has been really high.

 

[Lighthouse]

LA? That's ovah heah! *spins*

 

[The Apatow Crew]

I just looked at a article and it said Reuben isn't even gonna be Pee Wee, but the kid who was the main Lead In I love you, Bet Cooper. But Reuben is still writing it.

Wow! I had no idea he was doing a live show. I stand corrected. t:

That's a deal breaker for me then.

What's the point. That's one of those characters that IS the actor. I don't think someone else should play that role. When I saw Reubens on Conan he pretty much still looked like he did back in the day, age wise.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

I guess you could call this then a "reboot" of the franchise if you will.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

WTF?!?!!

not intersted anymore

Reubens can still pull off Pee Wee

 

[Dr. Evil]

If Reubens is not playing his iconic character, nobody is going to care. However, I do think at the end of the day, Pee Wee Herman will be played by Reubens. I'm thinking Rust will be in a secondary role of some kind.

of course, don't expect Lawrence Fishburne back as Cowboy Curtis.

Judd Apatow Bringing Pee Wee Herman Back To The Big Screen!

Are you ready to trade in Phil Hartman and Tim Burton for Paul Rust and Judd Apatow? Because that's what's happening.Rust and Apatow, along with Paul Reubens, are developing a new big screen adventure for Reubens' signature character, Pee Wee Herman.Once one of the biggest figures in cult comedy, Reubens' fall from the peak - thanks to some unsavory details of his personal life being made public - was pretty epic but he's been making a slow and steady return largely by leaving his comic roots behind and taking on small character parts.
What do you think? Is the world ready for the return of Pee Wee? Or, more to the point, will anybody still care?

Wow, Judd Apatow is busy as a producer these days:

- New Pee Wee Herman Movie (Paul Reubens)
- Bridesmaids (Kristin Wiig, Jon Hamm, Maya Rudolph)
- Wanderlust (Paul Rudd)
- Business Trip (Leslie Mann)

At least he's expanding his crew of actors with these films.
