Two men suing Universal studios for including Ana de Armas in the film’s trailer Yesterdayeven though the Cuban actress was eliminated from the final cut, they reached an agreement to end the legal battle for false advertising.
According to Variety magazine, Peter Rosza and Conor Woulfe reached an agreement last week with the famous Hollywood studio for the legal complaint filed in 2022 in which they claimed that they were deceived by paying $3.99 when renting the movie on a platform.
The two fans of the Cuban actress who was a star Blade Runner 2049, Knives out y There is no time to die They said they rented the movie because they wanted to see the artist, but felt “cheated” when they saw their scenes had been removed, according to court records .
Directed by Danny Boyle, Yesterday tells the story of a singer-songwriter who realizes he is the only person on Earth who remembers The Beatles.
De Armas’ main character had a romantic interest but his scenes were deleted from the latest version of the film, although they were used in the trailer.
The lawsuit accused the studio of using false advertising. Universal defended itself by arguing that movie trailers are works of art and therefore should be protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Federal Judge Stephen Wilson ruled that the trailer is “commercial speech,” subject to false advertising laws. However, he did not give the amount of one million dollars that they asked the plaintiffs.
The terms of the contract were not disclosed.
