Judd Apatow announced through his handlers that he has committed to produce a wide screen version of Paul Reuben’s celebrated pop culture character “Pee Wee Herman”.
According to a publicist, Reubens is expected to co-write the script with Apatow.
The project is a boost for the Pee Wee Herman star, especially when you consider that Apatow’s prior films - "Knocked up" and the "40-year old Virgin" - were smash money-making hits at the box office.
After a much-publicized scandal over a conviction on lewd-conduct charges, which initially negatively-impacted and stalled his career, Reubens has struggled to regain his former status in the show-biz arena.
A break-through arrived last year in the guise of a stage production based on the Pee Wee character.
The hit comedy is slated for 48 performances on Broadway to rev up in October.
Looks like the big adventure is not over yet for Paul Ruebens.
Pee Wee's perverted alter-Ego!
