Joe Manganiello joins 'Pee-Wee's Big Holiday'

Los Angeles: "Magic Mike" star Joe Manganiello has just joined Paul Reubens in "Pee-wee's Big Holiday", the road movie that is underway for Netflix.

They had been keeping this under wraps, but Manganiello started work recently. In the film, written by Reubens and Paul Rust, Pee-wee takes his first holiday, the journey of a lifetime in an epic story of friendship and destiny, reported Deadline.

Production began last month and the film premieres exclusive in all Netflix territories. Judd Apatow and Reubens worked together to bring the project to fruition and Apatow is producing the film with Reubens. John Lee is making his feature film directorial debut.

Mangianello said, "Paul Reubens is one of the great comic geniuses of our time. Growing up, my Saturday mornings were all about Pee-wee Herman. I saw everything he did. I can't believe that I'm going to get to share scenes with one of the iconic figures of my childhood."
