Judd Apatow Is Making a Pee-Wee Herman Film
 |
?Actually starring Pee-Wee Herman. And with a script by the guy who helped with Inglourious Basterds. If I didn’t see it in Variety, with quotes from Apatow about how the world needs more Pee-Wee Herman movies (true dat), I wouldn’t have believed it. Hell, I still barely believe it. It’s only in development, so I guess there’s plenty of time for this not to happen, but hell — a Judd Apatow produced Pee-Wee Herman movie? I feel like Paul Reubens must have found a genie or something.
