“Pretty Woman” is a timeless classic, but did you know it could have been a much darker film? Originally titled *3,000*, the early script painted a gritty tale of financial struggles, addiction, and a cold, detached Edward. Thankfully, Disney opted for a lighter, romantic comedy approach that gave us the iconic chemistry between Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.
Deleted scenes hint at a different tone. An extended introduction between Edward and Vivian adds depth, while a tense encounter with Vivian’s pimp shows the challenges of her life. Fans also wish the horse-riding scene, showcasing Vivian’s lighter side, had been kept.
Though the final version is cherished, these snippets offer intriguing “what-ifs.” Which would you have kept, or do you love the fairy-tale charm as it is? Share your thoughts!
