The development of the Netflix's take on Pretty Woman sequel has gotten a major update. 

According to the latest findings of Us Weekly, a source has shut down speculation surrounding an alleged follow-up film to the 1990 rom-com classic.

These rumors were further fueled when an AI-generated poster circulated online which showed Julia Roberts and Richard Gere standing back-to-back in a promotional image that quickly went viral. 

Julia Roberts and Richard Gere originally played Vivian Ward and Edward Lewis in the flick in discussion, the Garry Marshall-directed film that became a defining romantic comedy of its era. 

The story followed Vivian, a Hollywood escort, who is hired to accompany wealthy businessman Edward during a week in Los Angeles, leading to an unexpected romance that captured moviegoers’ hearts.
