When the cast of the classic 1990 romantic comedy Pretty Woman reunited in 2015, some secrets were spilled.<\/p>\n
The film, starring a 21-year-old Julia Roberts, who at the time had appeared in Mystic Pizza and Steel Magnolias, and Richard Gere, an already established sex symbol, was originally intended to have a dark storyline, called 3000.<\/p>\n
The original script followed the life of drug addicted prostitute, who at the end is tossed out of the limousine, onto her back on the street, with Edward throwing her $3,000 in earnings on her body before driving away.<\/p>\n
Then Garry Marshall, the legendary producer and screenwriter, stepped in as director, and it was taken over by Disney, transforming the film into the fairy tale that generations still love.<\/p>\n
Still, Gere wasn\u2019t interested in starring in the film and said no, \u201ca few times.\u201d<\/p>\n
