Judd Apatow is reportedly set to make a new Pee-wee Herman movie.

Judd Apatow may soon be making use of film software to create a new Pee-wee Herman movie.

According to Variety, the Knocked Up director is set to bring the famous character back to the big screen.

"Let's face it, the world needs more Pee-wee Herman - I am so excited to be working with Paul Reubens, who is an extraordinary and groundbreaking actor and writer, it's so great to watch him return with such relevance," said Apatow.

Apatow has made his name with comedies including The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Anchorman and reportedly made the decision after seeing Reubens performing a stand-up comedy show in Los Angeles.

Reubens has said he "can't believe" he is being giving the chance to work with Apatow.

It has recently been reported that Martin Scorsese is also working on a new film, a movie adaptation of the bestselling 2007 book The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
