PEE-WEE’S PLAYHOUSE meant so much to me as a kid. His laugh still makes me giggle. I also demand Pee-Wee style dancing anytime I hear “Tequila”. PEE-WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE was the best movie that could have ever been made with the character. BIG TOP PEE-WEE always scared the shit out of me for some reason. I think it had something to do with carnies. I don’t know.
Anyway, Paul Reubens gave an update on the next movie due to come out. The good news is that it seems to be moving right along. Judd Apatow is still set to produce. Here’s what Pee-Wee himself had to say:
“It’s going great! We have a meeting this coming week, and we just did a very quick little rewrite on it. As far as I know, it’s getting shot very soon. I actually wasn’t supposed to talk about it, initially. I was talking about it in this very veiled, secretive way, saying, “Oh, I wish I could talk about it.” A journalist figured out that it was Judd Apatow that I was talking about because my writing partner was in the audience and he’s written so much with Judd. So, it got leaked about six months to a year before it was supposed to. I’ve been warned not to talk about any of my new projects, but that I can talk about because I blew it and it’s out. It’s even on IMDB now. So, that’s supposedly any minute. Right after that, I’m following that up with two incredibly exciting projects. I would give anything to be able to just brag to you right now and drop some names, but I can’t.”
