Paul Reubens hoped that a stage revival would kickstart development on Pee-Wee’s Playhouse: The Movie, and sure enough, he reached just the right audience. Judd Apatow attended The Pee-Wee Herman Show, in which Reubens reprised his ultra-silly character from the eighties, in Los Angeles this winter. It turns out that Reubens’ feature script, co-written with Paul Rust (Moral Orel), is housed at Apatow’s home studio, Universal. A couple of meetings later, Apatow is now on board as producer. Hit the jump for comments from the parties involved. [Update: Click here for Reubens providing more details about the project.]
