Johnny Depp is considering an offer to star in two forthcoming Pee-Wee Herman movies, playing the legendary kids' character. Paul Reubens, who played Pee-Wee in TV shows and films until 1990, has completed two scripts he hopes to bring to the big screen in 2009.

Reubens hopes to reprise the role himself, but admits he has also spoken to his Blow co-star Depp about taking on the part.

Reubens tells MTV, "(He said) Let me think about it."

Besides appearing together in Blow, the two actors are also linked through director Tim Burton - one of regular Depp-collaborator Burton's first films was 1985's Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

Paul Reubens is the ONLY Pee-Wee Herman. At first I thought maybe Depp was in talks to star in a biopic about Reubens

Reconsider Johnny!

Johnny would be fantastic... he's great in any role and since playing 'offbeat characters' is his specialty I know he'd be great... but uh, I hope he says NO. I'd rather him focus on a Pirates 4 ;)

Wow!

:eek2:

I've heard alot of rumours about this, he would be great i cant help but picture willy wonka in this character though! :lol: Tim and johnny work really well together.

:clap: i agree there hun!

Altough I'd probably watch it out of curiosity, I wouldn't enjoy it without Paul Reubens as Pee-wee Herman. That, to me, is the same as three new actors playing The Three Stooges. It can't and shouldn't be done. However, this would be a bit better because at least Reubens would be involved by writing the scripts.

I've always been loyal to Pee-wee Herman. My mom used to be a big fan of his, until the incident. Now she dislikes him. Pee-wee's become a joke, but I still like the guy. I proudly own Pee-wee's HBO special, Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Big Top Pee-wee, the complete Pee-wee's Playhouse series along with the Christmas special. So, I'm hoping he reprises the role.

I agree Paul Reuben is the one and only pee-wee, but johnny :eyes:

but johnny :eyes:

This may be the one and only time I have the HOTS for pee-wee Herman! :lol:

is it going to be like the Pee-wee Herman tv show? you know theirs two Pee-wee Herman movies. peewee big Adventure and pee wee under the big top.

This may be the one and only time I have the HOTS for pee-wee Herman! :lol:
:rofl: :brent

This may be the one and only time I have the HOTS for pee-wee Herman! :lol:

:lol:

nothing against Johnny but I want Paul to play the role instead. Although part of me can understand why not, Pee-Wee's "career" ended in scandal and Reubens had spent over 15 years trying to overcome the Pee-Wee typecasting that it'd make sense that he isn't ready to jump back into character considering how long he's been trying to prove he is much more than Pee-Wee

It'll sure be interesting to see how this all turns out...

As much as i want to see johnny again in film, i cannot see this taking place.

Though johnny if your out there....call me! :lol:

Why doesn't Pee-Wee just play Pee-Wee?! And Paul is Pee-Wee.
It's not like he is too old or anything. He should play him while he still can.

This may be the one and only time I have the HOTS for pee-wee Herman! :lol:
^^^soooooo true!!!

... i don't know.
Pee Wee Herman gives me the creeps.

I'm sure Depp will be able to do a good job in this role but why are they bringing back pee wee any way?
