Paging Mr. Herman!

So I've heard this rumor floating around for about five years now that Paul Rubens has been planning on doing two new Pee Wee Herman films; one a lighthearted romp and the other a black comedy. But only recently has the project been confirmed as "in production" on IMDB. Sure, that doesn't necessarily mean it's happening but it's a good indicator. This could very interesting, seeing what an aged Pee Wee has done with his life...hopefully he's still a recluse who talks to his furniture and plays with antique toys. And hopefully Mr. Rubens learned a lesson from his first two films and realizes that the beauty of Pee Wee is how the character works on multiple levels; he's kid friendly, he's silly, but at the same time he's not right in the head. He's about subtle and sarcastic humor that sometimes crosses the threshold of bizarre innuendo...it's about walking the razors edge between what's whimsical and what's psychotic...not a generic saturday morning carnival like Big Top Pee Wee.
