We know there’s a new Pee-Wee Herman movie coming featuring work from Paul Reubens (of course) and producer Judd Apatow. The script has undergone some revisions over the past year, but we keep hearing that the film will shoot soon. Now there’s some real news, as the beginnings of a deal have been revealed that will see the new Pee-Wee Herman movie as a Netflix production, and therefore likely an exclusive to the streaming service.

The Wrap reports that unnamed sources say the film has moved from Universal to Netflix, and that the film, written by Reubens and Paul Rust could begin to shoot by February 2015. The site points back to comments Reubens made a couple months back where he said ““we now have such an amazing company involved, and that’s the really big announcement that hasn’t been made yet.” That company, says the Wrap, is Netflix.

We don’t know who will direct, and the story of the film remains under wraps at this point.

With the revelation of this deal, expect to hear a lot more about the new Pee-Wee Herman movie in the next few weeks — that February shoot zone is going to come up really fast.

The search for a Star Trek 3 director is over. Justin Lin, director of multiple Fast and Furious films as well as True Detective season 2, will helm the sci-fi sequel, tentatively set for release in 2016. He replaces Roberto Orci, who remains attached as a producer. Read more about the Justin Lin Star Trek 3 news below.

Deadline broke the news. Lin was on a list of directors we thought would make a great choice, and then officially on a short list. He’s now been offered the job.

Lin is currently directing a few episodes of True Detective for HBO. After that, he was supposed to do a new Bourne movie with Jeremy Renner, but that was postponed once Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon decided to return to the franchise. Rumor was Lin was then considering doing a few more Fast and Furious movies but that’s, obviously, not going to happen.

Those Fast and Furious movies likely got Lin this job. They proved not only can he work with a huge ensemble and budget, it proves he has the ability to take a fledgeling franchise and pump it full of adrenaline. After 2 Fast 2 Furious, most thought the Fast and Furious franchise was dead. Lin’s first movie, Tokyo Drift, reinvented the series and kept it alive. But it was the fourth film, Fast and Furious the exploded it back into the stratosphere. Since then, he’s been somehow making the movies bigger and more exciting with each installment.

That’ll be Lin’s job on Star Trek 3. J.J. Abrams gave the franchise a great start, but the second film is largely disliked by fans of the franchise and first film. Paramount wants to make new Star Trek movies forever and they’ll need a big threequl, on the franchise’s 50th anniversary, to do that.

What do you think of Justin Lin directing Star Trek 3?

Of all the TV shows coming to the small screen in 2015, Vince Gilligan‘s Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul has to be among the most anticipated. The show premieres February 8 and 9 on AMC and will explore the character of Saul Goodman, played by Bob Odenkirk. In Breaking Bad, it always seemed like Saul had connections to some really, really messed up people and this show – which is set before, during and after Breaking Bad depending on the story – will give us a better idea of how a struggling lawyer named James McGill became the slimy lawyer Saul.

AMC has just released our best look yet at the show via a cool new 30 second TV spot. It’s almost all new footage, so check out the Better Call Saul trailer below.

Thanks to Vulture for the new Better Call Saul footage.

Pretty cool stuff. I’m just so excited for this show. As much as I loved everything about Breaking Bad, things just had a unique tone and tension whenever Saul came on screen. He’s such a unpredictable character. Confident and cool one minute, crawling on the floor and scared the next. And always, always funny .

AMC also uploaded a few other teaser last week, in case you missed them.
