Apatow and Pee-Wee in PreProduction For “Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday” with Netflix
Netflix is going to take the new Pee-Wee Herman movie across the Globey. The streaming network said on Tuesday the film “Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday” will be released across their worldwide territory services.
The film is produced by Judd Apatow and was written by Paul Rust from “Comedy Bang Bang” and by Pee-Wee’s alter-ego Paul Reubens. In a statement, Pee-Wee Herman said, “Judd and I dreamt up this movie four years ago. The world was much different back then — Netflix was waiting by the mailbox for red envelopes to arrive. I’ve changed all that. The future is here. Get used to it. Bow tie is the new black.”
Apatow said, “As a fan of Pee-wee Herman since he first appeared on The Dating Game, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the brilliant Paul Reubens on this film. It is a dream come true.”
Very few details have been released about the plot of “Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday”, but Netflix describes the movie as “a fateful meeting with a mysterious stranger inspires Pee-wee Herman to take his first-ever holiday in this epic story of friendship and destiny.”
John Lee (Broad City, Inside Amy Schumer) will make his feature film directorial debut.
“Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday” is in pre-production now.
