A month after the blockbuster movie "Pretty Woman" turned 25, lead star Richard Gere sought the opinion of fans if they want a reunion of the movie.
In a posting on Facebook, Gere wrote, "We are thinking about making a 'Pretty Woman' reunion. But, we are unsure if we should so we decided to let the fans decide. If this picture gets 100k likes, we will consider it. Vote now and spread the word!"
So far, the post has garnered more than 300,000 likes and 7,000 shares.
Fans also posted comments on Gere's post, mostly pushing the actor to make a sequel of the movie. Encouraged by the outpouring of support, Gere on Tuesday changed his profile picture to that of Julia Roberts, his co-star in the movie.
Lisa Ainsworth, besides agreeing that a sequel would be welcome, gushed, "Two of the most sexiest people alive together again!"
Julie Karr-Avonlady suggests making it similar to "Father of the Bride" comedy but with lots of love. Betty Williams recalls watching the film, shown in 1990, 30 times, and every time she still laughs and cries at the same scenes.
Nancy Lopez told Gere she would watch any movie he stars in, while Vivien Auger says she never tires of watching the movie. June Baylis admits, "I must say Richard you took my heart many years ago."
But one dissenter, Cindy Molesky, disagrees. She writes that "'Pretty Woman' was that space in time when everything came together and an iconic movie was made." However, she found "Runaway Bride" terrible because she thinks the chemistry between the two was missing in the second movie. "I think sometimes one time is all you need," Cindy says.
Now 66 and with salt-and-pepper hair, yet still handsome and physically good looking, Gere shares, "I'm at a certain age that festivals around the world are giving me lifetime achievement awards. It's a little premature, but I'll accept it."
In one amphitheater, there were around 7,000 viewers and most of them, Gere observes, were below 24. But he notes that these young people somehow know the film.
