Item description from seller

Original Creative Artists Agency copy of the script titled Three Thousand by J.F. Lawton which was subsequently adapted into the 1990 film Pretty Woman starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. This copy was made when Vestron Pictures was trying to cast the picture. Bradbound in printed CAA covers. About fine copy with a bit of handling to the covers. From a 2015 article in Vanity Fair magazine by Kate Erbland titled “The True Story of Pretty Woman’s Original Dark Ending” we learn that the screenwriter J.F. Lawton had initially crafted a “gritty drama, originally called 3,000” which “was turned into the uber-rom-com Pretty Woman”. Erbland goes on to write, “Lawton’s original script still contains many of the classic beats and scenes that people remember from the final film, including a trip to the opera, a series of bad shopping experiences, and that fancy dinner with the kind-hearted businessman whose company he [Gere’s character, Edward] is trying to raid. The characters are mostly the same.But the tone and ending are completely different, and it’s mostly a relief when Vivian and Edward don’t end up together, even though the story ends on a decidedly down note. 3,000 ends with Kit [Vivian’s best friend] and Vivian on a bus bound for Disneyland.” This script offers fans of Pretty Woman a glimpse into the often circuitous route film development can take.…
