Pee-wee's Playhouse: The Movie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pee-wee's Playhouse: The Movie is a forthcoming film by Paul Reubens.
Reubens' third scripted movie, written at the same time as his adult-oriented Pee-Wee script, was greenlighted in late Summer 2006. He first announced he had finished the script on the Late Show with David Letterman. Filming is supposed to start in early 2007.
The title is unlike the plot because it involves Pee-Wee outside of the Playhouse and in the real world.
[edit] Plot
Reubens said the story would be about all of the characters from the television show finally leaving the playhouse and venturing off into Puppetland and beyond (the playhouse characters had never left the playhouse in the TV series, though various locations like Miss Yvonne's house were shown). The characters from the playhouse will be on an epic adventure to look for a missing character from the playhouse. Rumor has it that the missing character is the King of Cartoons (originally played by Gilbert Lewis and William H. Marshall). Reubens stated this will be a road movie similar to Pee-wee's Big Adventure.
[edit] Rumored Director
Director Tim Burton is rumored to direct Reubens once more as Pee-wee. Burton originally directed Reubens in Pee-wee's Big Adventure.
