TWO film fans within the US filed a federal class motion lawsuit final Friday alleging they had been duped into renting the 2019 film Yesterday as a result of Ana de Armas appeared within the trailer.
The swimsuit accuses Universal of partaking in misleading advertising, and seeks to recoup no less than US$5 million (RM20.9 milllion) on behalf of affected shoppers.
“Because consumers were promised a movie with Ana De Armas by the trailer for Yesterday, but did not receive a movie with any appearance of Ana de Armas at all, such consumers were not provided with any value for their rental or purchase,” the lawsuit states.
Yesterday tells the story of a singer-songwriter who, by a supernatural prevalence, is the one particular person on Earth who remembers the Beatles. De Armas performed the potential love curiosity of the principle character, however her scenes had been eliminated from the ultimate reduce of the film.
The swimsuit bears a resemblance to a grievance involving the film Drive that was filed in Michigan in 2011. In that case, the plaintiff alleged that the trailer made it seem that the film could be a “high speed action driving film,” and she or he was not ready for the film’s slow-paced interpersonal drama punctuated with graphic violence
