'I make the rules about when I'm coming back.' Three decades after 'Pee-wee’s Big Adventure' and a career-threatening scandal, Paul Reubens has become a comedy cult hero with a shocking new Pee-wee script
— and within hours his long-haired mug shot was plastered everywhere, feeding late-night monologues for weeks and pretty much crushing his career as a kiddie show star. Disney World deleted a Pee-wee voiceover from its MGM Studios tour. Toys R Us removed Pee-wee toys from its shelves. And while Reubens had already called it quits on— he says he was suffering from Pee-wee burnout at the time — CBS pulled five remaining episodes of the show, giving the impression that the network had fired him.
Beyond those few words, Reubens refuses to discuss the three-decade-old arrest. Every question about it receives the same answer: "That's all going to be in my book. Whatever I'm going to express, it's going to be in my book. And even then, I don't know if I'm going to express much about it." Ask when the book will be written and he admits he hasn't quite started yet.
Pee-wee movie, even if nobody else does. According to several well-placed sources, he's been aggressively shopping thescript around town and has agreed to make the movie for $15 million, half the budget of. Apatow still isn't interested and Sarandos passed on the project for Netflix, saying it "doesn't check off all the boxes" of a Pee-wee movie, according to a source with knowledge of the exchange.
