TFG1 Mike, of the GeekCast Radio Network, has been checking out some new shows airing on Us television this week including the new USA series Common Law and the eagerly awaited new Tron animated series, Tron: Uprising, on Disney Xd. Here’s his first impressions:

Greetings Programs! Tron: Legacy was released in 2010, and finally Tron: Uprising has aired on the Disney Channel and Disney Xd. I have absolutely been pulled into the world of Tron. Loved the original movie and Tron: Legacy so I was excited for the premiere of Tron: Uprising, and it happened on Disney Channel 5/18/12.

This series is set between Tron and Tron Legacy, and it’s supposedly gonna be a 10 part miniseries. It’s a pretty sweet looking cartoon. In this series we follow the story of Beck, whom is supposed to be the next Tron. In the first episode we see Beck and his friends »

At the press day for this highly anticipated new show, actor Paul Reubens, who voices Pavel, General Tesler’s (voiced by Lance Henriksen) untrustworthy base commander who will do whatever it takes to get ahead, talked about finding the voice for the character, playing a villain, and how he had a toy from the original Tron movie.  He also gave an update on the status of the next Pee-Wee Herman movie (produced by Judd Apatow), and his love of reality television, »

Paul Reubens Believes We’re Approaching a Period of Pee-wee Herman Renaissance

14 May 2012 6:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

If you’ve been closely following the career of Pee-wee Herman performer Paul Reubens (and shame on you if you haven’t been), then you know he’s been crowing about the fact that he’s got a new, Judd Apatow-produced Pee-wee movie in the works. It was almost two years ago when he first broke word that the movie was happening, and then he let everybody know he had turned in the first draft of the script a year after that. While news of a new Pee-wee movie was initially a cause for celebration, after two years of talk one has to begin wondering if this thing is really happening or not. If Apatow and company are really on board and looking to make this movie, then why is it taking so long to get things together? Reubens has been talking again, this time to ComingSoon, and he says he can explain the wait. “I »

Paul Reubens Gives Pee Wee Herman Movie Update and Teases New Projects

14 May 2012 2:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Thanks to Collider, we have an update on the upcoming Pee Wee Herman movie straight from Pee Wee himself, Paul Reubens. The film is being produced by Judd Apatow, and when Reuben was asked about the status of it he had this to say:

It’s going great!  We have a meeting this coming week, and we just did a very quick little rewrite on it.  As far as I know, it’s getting shot very soon.  I actually wasn’t supposed to talk about it, initially.  I was talking about it in this very veiled, secretive way, saying, “Oh, I wish I could talk about it.”  A journalist figured out that it was Judd Apatow that I was talking about because my writing partner was in the audience and he’s written so much with Judd.  So, it got leaked about six months to a year before it was supposed to. »

Paul Reubens says the new Pee-Wee movie is still on the way

14 May 2012 1:28 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

Pee-wee's Playhouse meant so much to me as a kid. His laugh still makes me giggle. I also demand Pee-Wee style dancing anytime I hear "Tequila". Pee-wee's Big Adventure was the best movie that could have ever been made with the character. Big Top Pee-wee always scared the shit out of me for some reason. I think it had something to do with carnies. I don't know. Anyway, Paul Reubens gave an update on the next movie due to come out. The good news is that it seems to be moving right »

Pee-wee Herman movie to start shooting 'very soon' says Paul Reubens

14 May 2012 11:13 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

Time to dust off your red bow tie and gray suit. The next installment of the Pee-wee Herman movie series is getting even closer.

In an interview with Collider, Paul Reubens says that the film's script is pretty much done and the project should begin shooting in the near future. It will be produced by Judd Apatow.

"We just did a very quick little rewrite on it. As far as I know, it's getting shot very soon," Reubens tells the publication. 

This will be the third time Reubens has taken on the Pee-wee Herman character in a movie. He first donned the famed outfit in 1985 in "Pee-wee's Big Adventure." The sequel, "Big Top Pee-wee," came out in 1988. From 1986-90 Reubens also played Pee-wee in the award-winning TV show "Pee-wee's Playhouse."

So Zappers, are you excited to see everyone's favorite kid return to the big screen?

Paul Reubens says the new Pee-wee Herman film could start shooting "any minute"

14 May 2012 9:06 AM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »

It's been nearly two years since Paul Reubens let it slip that he and Judd Apatow were combining childish-man forces to bring Pee-wee Herman back to the big screen. This weekend, Reubens finally offered a very slight, nominal update: "As far as I know, it's getting shot very soon," Reubens said, adding that it had just been through a quick rewrite and that a meeting on it is scheduled for this coming week, so he believes it will become a real thing "any minute, supposedly"—though it is still not, as of this minute. Or this one. What »

Paul Reubens Says New Pee-Wee Herman Movie is Still on the Way

14 May 2012 6:15 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

It's been a long road for Pee-wee's Playhouse: The Movie, the latest big-screen adventure for Paul Reubens' iconic Pee-wee Herman character. We wrote about this way back in '09, but it's been a while since we've heard any update on the project, which is being produced by Judd Apatow. Reubens is voicing a character in the new animated series "Tron: Uprising," and recently told Collider that filming on Pee-wee's next film is set to begin "any minute, supposedly" and after a "quick little rewrite" on the script, it's gearing up to start shooting "very soon." Sounds like good news for fans of the bow-tie wearing goofball. Read on! Reubens said this at the press conference: "We have a meeting this coming week, and we just did a very quick little rewrite on it. As far as I know, it’s getting shot very soon. I actually wasn’t »

Paul Reubens recently revealed to Coming Soon that the new feature film based on his Pee-wee Herman character is still chugging along.

"It's going great. We have a meeting this coming week. We just did a very quick little rewrite on it. As far as I know it's getting shot very soon" said Reubens who is co-writing the script with Paul Rust.

Reubens added that news about the project actually got out earlier than intended - "I actually wasn't supposed to talk about it initially. I was talking about it in this very veiled, secret way going, 'Oh, I wish I could talk about it.' ...It got leaked about six months to a year before it was supposed to."

Judd Apatow will produce the project which would mark Pee-wee's third big screen adventure. »

Was Tim Burton Ever A Good Director? (Opinion)

13 May 2012 8:40 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

With a title like that, I'm sure to get a lot of hate for even suggesting such a notion. But here's the thing: I loved Tim Burton. He was my absolute favorite director until around 2001. The worlds he created held my attention in a deeper way than other filmmaker's. The oddball and macabre design, along with the melancholy atmosphere, were unlike anything I had seen in movies. It was as fantastical in imagination as any blockbuster, and it felt more ethereal and personal than the "Hollywood" spectacle of a Spielberg or Zemeckis film. He introduced me to ideas of retro kitsch, spooky fringe and proudly holding onto timeless obsessions of your youth. Burton is one of those early influences in my life that made me become a passionate movie lover. I can catch "Beetlejuice" or "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" at any moment on TV and immediately get sucked back into them. »

Hit the jump to watch the full episode.  The voice cast includes Elijah Wood, Lance Henriksen, Mandy Moore, Nate Corddry, Paul Reubens, and Bruce Boxleitner. »
