Ex Disney head reveals 'Pretty Woman' could have been darker

Hollywood classic "Pretty Woman", which was made under Walt Disney Studios, could have been a dark film had things gone the other way round.
Former Disney studio head Jeffrey Katzenberg reveals they had a tough time convincing each other to decide the course of the Julia Roberts-Richard Gere starrer, in a Q and A session at Hearst Tower, reported PageSix.
"As a script, 'Pretty Woman' was an R-rated movie... By the way, in the original version - it's pretty dark - I think she died of an overdose," says Katzenberg.
He adds the film went on to have the dream-come-true angle to it which makes it memorable till date.

"So convincing (people) that we should make that at the Walt Disney Co, and that it's a fairy tale and a princess movie, a lot of people had a hard time seeing it. But, as they say, the rest is history," says the movie mogul.
