Pee-Wee's Big Holiday: Netflix Release This Year

Bowtie is the new black, according to Paul Reubens. A new feature film by the name of Pee-Wee's Big Holiday will be presented by Reubens and Paul Rust, and it'll be available "exclusively to the global membership of Netflix." "We didn't hesitate for a moment," said Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos, "knowing that Pee-wee's Big Holiday was such a passion project for Paul and Judd and we are delighted by the opportunity to introduce such a beloved character to a new generation."

Reubens – or Pee-Wee, as he writes as in his official "log", suggests that shooting will begin in 3 weeks. That places the start of the shooting schedule near the end of March.

This film will be produced by Reubens and Judd Apatow (of Anchorman and Bridesmaids fame).

"As a fan of Pee-wee Herman since he first appeared on The Dating Game," said Apatow, "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the brilliant Paul Reubens on this film. It is a dream come true."

This film includes the following outline:

"In Pee-wee's Big Holiday, 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."

We're crossing our fingers that the mysterious stranger is Cowboy Curtis.

"Judd and I dreamt up this movie four years ago," said Pee-Wee, "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. Bowtie is the new black."
