Paul Ruebens stated that a director has been confirmed for the new Pee-Wee Herman film. Ruebens was not inclined to say who it will be, but he did say that they hope to begin shooting next year, along with a new Pee-Wee television show.
This project has been gestating for some time now, with Judd Apatow attached as the producer, and Ruebens and Paul Rust as writers.
