Richard Gere and Julia Roberts: Iconic Collaborations in "Pretty Woman" and "Runaway Bride"
2024/07/31 Report

The Magic of "Pretty Woman"

When Richard Gere and Julia Roberts first graced the screen together in "Pretty Woman," they created an unforgettable romantic pairing that continues to resonate with audiences. Roberts, reflecting on the fate of their characters, shared a poignant and somewhat bittersweet vision: Edward, Gere’s character, passed away peacefully, leaving Vivian, played by Roberts, to run his business. This imaginative extension of their story offers fans a glimpse into what could have been, maintaining the film's legacy in a modern context​​​​.

"Runaway Bride" Reunion

The chemistry between Gere and Roberts was rekindled in the 1999 film "Runaway Bride," where Roberts played the commitment-phobic Maggie Carpenter and Gere portrayed Ike Graham, a journalist determined to unravel Maggie's story. Roberts humorously predicts that Maggie and Ike would have stayed together, defying Maggie's notorious habit of fleeing from weddings.

This playful insight from Roberts adds a layer of continuity to their on-screen romance, suggesting that some love stories do have happy endings after all​​.

Despite the enduring popularity of their collaborations, a reunion of Gere and Roberts in a sequel is unlikely. Gere has stated that without the guiding influence of director Garry Marshall, who passed away in 2016, recreating the magic of "Pretty Woman" would be impossible.
