The case stems involved the 2019 movie Yesterday, which stars Himesh Patel as a man in a world without the Beatles.<\/p>\n<p>The trailer for Yesterday included clips of actor Ana de Armas, famous for roles in Knives Out, The Gray Man and Blonde.  Two fans of the actor filed a lawsuit in January, alleging that they had rented Yesterday after seeing her in the trailer.  However, once they saw the movie they discovered that de Armas was cut out of the final movie.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"widget-container\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-3968970857\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-3733722558 slideshow-preview\">\n<p>The Most Spoilery Movie Trailers Ever<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-3733722558 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-3733722558 hero-image\"><button class=\"jsx-4108951595 button button--secondary-alt jsx-509165991 row-pagination-button next contained centered round xlarge\" type=\"button\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"object-feedback\"\/>\n<p>Originally, de Armas was indeed supposed to play a love interest for Patel&#8217;s character in Yesterday.  However, she was cut out of the film entirely because audiences did n&#8217;t like the idea of \u200b\u200bPatel moving on from his primary love interest (Lily James).<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Universal tried to throw out the argument.  The studio argued that movie trailers are entitled to protection under the First Amendment, claiming that a trailer is an \u201cartistic, expressive work\u201d and should be considered as \u201cnon-commercial\u201d speech.  Wilson rejected the argument, saying that a trailer is in fact commercial speech.  Thus, trailers are subject to the California False Adverting Law and the state&#8217;s Unfair Competition Law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUniversal is correct that trailers involve some creativity and editorial discretion, but this creativity does not outweigh the commercial nature of a trailer,\u201d Wilson wrote.  \u201cAt its core, a trailer is an advertisement designed to sell a movie by providing consumers with a preview of the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"article-video-container\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon for movie trailers to include footage that does not actually appear in the finished movie.  For instance, one teaser trailer for Jurassic Park (another Universal film) is made up entirely of cut footage.  With this new ruling, though, the door is open for studios to be sued for putting out highly deceptive trailers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Carson Burton is freelance writer at IGN.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to a new ruling, deceptive movie trailers may be a thing of the past.
