![Ana de Armas Yesterday Trailer](https://theconservativetake.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Ana-De-Armas-Yesterday-trailer-300x169-1.jpg)
Just when you thought we had reached the peak of frivolous lawsuits, thereās more. A judge has ruled that moviegoers can sue over a trailer that promised Ana de Armas.
The move in question is 2019s Yesterday. I didnāt see it, and I would bet considerable sums of money that you didnāt see it either.
On the off chance that you did, you were either drawn in by the timeless music of the Beatles or the timeless beauty of actress Ana de Armas. Both of those things are highlighted in the filmās trailer.
While the film succeeded in licensing songs from the Beatlesā catalog, De Armas was nowhere to be found.
Her scene, in which she appears as a guest on restaurant worker tyrant James Cordenās show, hit the cutting room floor.
Can you imagine paying $13 for a ticket to see Yesterday, $9 for popcorn, another $9 for a Diet Coke, and $5 for a box of Lemonheads only to learn Ana de Armasā scene had been cut? Most of us would see this as a minor inconvenience, but some hardcore de Armas fans found this litigation worthy.

Two Fans Have Filed A $5 Million Class-Action Suit Against Universal
The two plaintiffs in the case, Conor Woulfe and Peter Michael Rosza, didnāt even pony up all that money to catch the movie in theaters. Instead, they rented it for $4 a pop on Amazon Video.
Still, they were very unhappy to be left de Armas-less.
They filed a $5 million class-action suit on behalf of other de Armas fans against Universal Studios.
Why? Because they feel like the studio took them for a ride with some good olā fashioned false advertising.
As frivolous as that sounds, US district judge Stephen Wilson has ruled that it can proceed.
It was ruled that trailers are subject to Californiaās California False Adverting Law and Unfair Competition Law.
āUniversal is correct that trailers involve some creativity and editorial discretion, but this creativity does not outweigh the commercial nature of a trailer,ā Wilsonās ruling read.
āAt its core, a trailer is an advertisement designed to sell a movie by providing consumers with a preview of the movie.ā
According to the BBC, de Armasā scenes were cut out of the movie after test audiences responded to them poorly.
