Ana de Armas fans told they can sue over Yesterday trailer (BBC News)

Two fans complained after the actress was cut from a film despite featuring in the trailer.

Some footage of these scenes featured in the trailer. In the case of the Yesterday trailer, he said, it was plausible that viewers would expect de Armas to have a significant role in the film. They referred to Jurassic Park, another Universal film, one trailer for which they said was comprised entirely of footage that is not in the movie. In their briefing on the issue, Universal's lawyers argued that it is not unusual for movie trailers to feature clips that do not appear in the finished film. "At its core, a trailer is an advertisement designed to sell a movie by providing consumers with a preview of the movie." But the judge rejected that argument, ruling that a trailer is commercial speech and is subject to the California False Adverting Law and the state's Unfair Competition Law.

Ever fallen victim to a misleading trailer? Well, Ana de Armas' fans ... (Hunger TV)

Ana de Armas fans are suing Universal Studios for $5m after the actor appeared in a trailer for 'Yesterday' but was cut from the final film.

The studio’s lawyers argued that a trailer is a three-minute “artistic, expressive work” used to convey the movie’s themes. The judge, however, denied that argument, ruling that a trailer is commercial speech, making it subject to California’s False Advertising Law and Unfair Competition Law. On Tuesday, US District Judge Stephen Wilson issued a ruling on the fans’ January lawsuit brought against Universal Pictures.

Film Studios Can Be Sued Over False Advertising in Trailers, Judge ... (TooFab)

"At its core, a trailer is an advertisement designed to sell a movie by providing consumers with a preview of the movie."

"In sum, Universal has pointed to no non-commercial speech that could be intertwined with the trailer and, the inextricably intertwined exception to the commercial speech doctrine does not apply. Thus, because Plaintiffs have plausibly alleged that the trailer is false, commercial speech, Plaintiffs may proceed with their claims without offending the First Amendment." [TooFab](https://toofab.com/) has reached out to Universal for comment. "Universal is correct that trailers involve some creativity and editorial discretion, but this creativity does not outweigh the commercial nature of a trailer," Wilson said. But de Armas' role was cut from the film, and Rosza and Woulfe weren't happy, claiming the advertising was "false, misleading and deceptive." After the two fans sued Universal, lawyers for the studio attempted to dismiss the lawsuit, asserting that movie trailers are protected under the First Amendment.
