Editing Four Weddings and a Funeral (section)

===Post-production===
According to Hugh Grant, the initial screening of a rough cut of ''Four Weddings'' went very badly. {{blockquote| "I thought we'd screwed it up. When we went to watch a rough cut, all of us, me, Richard Curtis, Mike Newell, the producers, all thought this was the worst film that's ever been perpetrated. We're gonna go and emigrate to Peru when it comes out so no one can actually find us. And then they had a, a few cuts later they took it to [[Santa Monica]] for a test screening and everyone loved it. And it was a great surprise."<ref name="SAG-AFTRA Foundation"/>}}

Throughout production, [[Gramercy Pictures]], the U.S. distributor for the film, sent frequent transatlantic faxes objecting to the explicit language and sexual content, fearing the final product would not be suitable for American distribution or television airings.<ref name="20 Years On"/> They particularly objected to the opening scene of the movie, in which Charles and Scarlett say the word "[[Fuck]]" over and over, after an initial screening of the movie in [[Salt Lake City]] led the conservative [[Mormon]] members of the city council to walk out.<ref name="15 Facts"/><ref name=":0"/> Accordingly, Mike Newell and the actors agreed to reshoot the scene with the British swear word "[[Bugger]]" to be used in the American version.<ref name="15 Facts"/> The executives also objected to the title, believing ''Four Weddings and a Funeral'' would turn off male viewers from the film. In its place they suggested such titles as ''True Love and Near Misses'', ''Loitering in Sacred Places'', ''Skulking Around'' and ''Rolling in the Aisles'', none of which were accepted.<ref name="20 Years On"/>
