HBO Documentary Films has announced plans for a two-part documentary about the life of Paul Reubens, a k a Pee-wee Herman, co-produced by Elara Films, home of \u201cUncut Gems\u201d filmmakers Josh and Benny Safdie, according to Deadline<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Despite his decorated acting career, Reubens is best known for the whimsical and well-dressed character, created in 1981 as a stage act for adult audiences. Pee-wee\u2019s show would sell out five months straight in Los Angeles before he ultimately turned the act into a kid-friendly movie, 1985\u2019s \u201cPee-wee\u2019s Big Adventure.\u201d A year later, CBS launched the Saturday morning show \u201cPee-wee\u2019s Playhouse,\u201d which ran until 1990.<\/p>\n

Scandal would later come for Reubens as the actor was arrested on a number of occasions for crimes related to lewd acts and pornography, making him subject to widespread ridicule. However the controversy would soon give way to Reubens\u2019 reinvention as a once-again beloved character actor, landing roles in Ben Stiller\u2019s \u201cMystery Men\u201d and \u201cBlow,\u201d co-starring Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz.<\/p>\n
