Pee-wee's Playhouse: The Movie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Pee-wee's Playhouse: The Movie is a proposed 2009 film by Paul Reubens, greenlighted by Paramount Pictures.[1]

The film will be Reubens' third scripted movie, written at the same time as his adult-oriented Pee-wee script and was announced in late summer 2006. He first announced he had finished the script on the Late Show with David Letterman, and later revealed further details to Time Magazine reporter Dennis Van Tine.[2] Filming was expected to start in early 2007. According to IMDb, it is expected for a release in 2009 because of delays.

[edit] Plot

According to Reubens, the story will focus on the characters from the television show finally leaving the playhouse and venturing off into Puppetland and beyond (the playhouse characters had rarely left the playhouse in the TV series). The characters from the playhouse will be on an epic adventure to look for a missing character from the playhouse. Reubens stated this will be a "road" movie similar to Pee-wee's Big Adventure.
