Pee-wee Herman Returns! With Judd Apatow! With a New Film for Netflix!

If you noticed that Pee-wee Herman has a load of titles that became available on Netflix earlier this month, it's not merely a move powered by nostalgia. It's been announced that Paul Reubens' character will have a new adventure that Netflix will stream sometime in 2016. The JuddApatow-produced film will begin shooting in Spring 2015.
A new Pee-wee film had been discussed fora few years. Universal began kicking the tires, but eventually it let too much time pass without a decision, and the Apatow-shepherded movie has now made its way to Netflix. In November, Reubens held this information close to his vest, though his heart was apparently bursting with excitement: "We now have such an amazing company involved, and that's the really big announcement that hasn't been made yet," he told the AV Club. The Pee-wee-Netflix union makes sense: although 2015 will be the 30-year anniversary of Tim Burton's Pee-wee's Big Adventure (Pee-wee's first film), and while there is a strong fan base that's returned for a few TV specials over the years, it has been more than 25-years since the last theatrical Pee-wee movie (Pee-wee's Big Top). So, a big theatrical movie at this juncture would've been a gamble. But Netflix, that aforementioned "amazing company", has spent pretty handsomely on its own television shows, and they should give Pee-wee his first proper movie sheen in decades.
There is no director slated yet, and Reubens hasn't revealed any script details (which Reubens co-wrote with Paul Rust who contributed to The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway, Netflix's Arrested Development and the upcoming Apatow-Netflix produced comedy, Love), but Netflix has added almost the entire back catalog to their platform. More announcements should be on the way.

So he'll smoke weed then decide to grow up and the last half of the movie won't be funny?
