Collaborating with him on the project was writer\/actor Paul Rust with none other than Judd Apatow serving as producer on the proposed project.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been wondering how things have been going on that project, Ruebens has told the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/race\/paul-reubens-reveals-status-judd-205183\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a> that he and Rust have just turned in the script to Apatow. Ruebens also elaborated on how Apatow helped shape the screenplay &#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>He\u2019s bringing such an interesting side to it. He\u2019s constantly having us  talk about and address the emotional core of Pee-wee Herman. It\u2019s adding  a dimension I never had before. Judd, if you\u2019re reading this, I think  it\u2019s ready to green light!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I have to say that although I am not much of a fan of the Pee Wee Herman character, I am intrigued by the idea of Apatow helping Ruebens and Rust to bring a deeper characterization to Pee Wee. But will fans warm to the idea of a more fleshed out or humanized version of Pee Wee? Apatow seems to think so. I just remains to be seen whether a studio will agree with him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Paul Ruebens seems to think so.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2011\/06\/26\/is-a-pee-wee-herman-film-close-to-a-green-light\/\" title=\"Is A Pee Wee Herman Film Close To A Green Light?\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14624,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[191,3861,1794,3860],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-14623","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-judd-apatow","9":"tag-paul-ruebens","10":"tag-paul-rust","11":"tag-pee-wee-herman"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14623"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14623\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14623"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=14623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
