The project was reportedly set in motion after the director/producer saw the recent "Pee-wee Herman Show" revival at the Nokia Theater in LA, which ran from January to February 2010.

"There is no one like Judd in our business -- he loves comedy with emotion and heart, and he sees what we do as art," Paul told the mag. "I can't believe I'm getting this opportunity to be working with him."
