Judd Apatow + Pee-wee Herman = What Do You Think?

This just in Pee-Wee Herman is coming back to the big screen. Judd Apatow's publicist, Matt Labov, says the writer-director-producer is developing a movie with Pee-Wee's creator, Paul Reubens. Reubens, who is co-writing the film, described it as an on-the-road movie built around a big adventure.

"Let's face it, the world needs more Pee-Wee Herman," Apatow told Daily Variety. "I am so excited to be working with Paul Reubens -- who is an extraordinary and ground-breaking actor and writer. It's so great to watch him return with such relevance."

Pee-Wee's first film, 1985's Pee-wee's Big Adventure, spawned a cult TV show featuring the kooky, overgrown boy.

Reubens revived his character on stage this year, and that show is set for a 48-performance run on Broadway starting Oct. 26.
