Considering how frequently I’ve watched ‘Pretty Woman,’ it’s surprising I overlooked these hidden bloopers and subtle errors, which, upon closer examination, hint at a dramatically different storyline behind the beloved film. Disney significantly altered the narrative, transforming it completely.
‘Pretty Woman’ became an iconic romantic comedy, charming audiences worldwide and catapulting Julia Roberts and Richard Gere into Hollywood superstardom.
Yet, this wasn’t always the vision. The film originated from a much grittier screenplay titled “3,000,” written by J.F. Lawton, who at the time was an unknown and struggling screenwriter. His original script explored darker and more complex themes, delving deeply into societal inequality, economic struggles, and corporate corruption, rather than the fairy-tale romance audiences eventually saw.
