Pretty Woman script history

    بواسطة Professional Portal ☀️: Garry Marshall

    The original screenplay for Pretty Woman was titled $3,000 and written by J.F. Lawton. It started as a dark, gritty drama featuring a drug addicted sex worker and a cold, heartless corporate raider. In the first ending, Edward throws Vivian out of a limousine, hurls money on top of her, and drives away leaving her screaming in the gutter. Disney bought the script and gave it to director Garry Marshall. Hector Elizondo told Garry Marshall that the material was very dark for a Disney movie. Marshall responded that they would make it nice and fun. Julia Roberts later called the original story a really dark and depressing, horrible, terrible story about two horrible people. Lawton did rewrites inserting a happy ending before being fired. The fairy tale version of Pretty Woman grossed $463 million.

    Do you have anything in this shop as beautiful as she is? Oh, yes. Oh, no. No, no, no. I'm saying we have many things as beautiful as she would want them to be. That's the point I was getting at. And I think we can all agree with that. That's why when you came in here... You know what we're going to need here? You're new from the first. We're going to need a few more people helping us out. I'll tell you why. We're going to be spending an obscene amount of money in here.
