Pee Wee Time Nears

Pee-wee Herman is set to make a return on the big screen which Judd Apatow will produce says Variety.

The story follows Pee-Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) on the road as he "goes on a gigantic adventure."

Reubens and Paul Rust are co-writing the script.

"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 groundbreaking actor and writer. It's so great to watch him return with such relevance." said Apatow.

Reubens had this to say about Apatow:

"There is no-one like Judd in our business - he loves comedy with emotion and heart, and he sees what we do as art...I can't believe I'm getting this opportunity to be working with him."

There's no word yet on who will direct the film.

The film came about after Apatow saw Reubens' recent Pee-wee Herman Show revival which played to packed houses earlier this year.
