Two fans have filed a consumer protection class action lawsuit alleging what it terms “deceptive, and misleading advertising” for Universal’s 2019 movie Yesterday.Conor Woulfe and Peter Michael Rosza contend that, based on trailers for Yesterday that they watched on Amazon.com, they each spent approximately $3.99 to watch the film.From the lawsuit:Among other deceptions, Defendant’s nationwide advertising and promotion of the movie Yesterday represents to prospective movie viewers that the world famous actress Ana De Armas has a substantial character role in the film.Defendant’s movie Yesterday, however, fails to include any appearance of Ana De Armas whatsoever.
Accordingly, Defendant’s advertising and promotion of the movie Yesterday is false, misleading, and deceptive.De Armas’ scene was cut from the film, according to screenwriter Richard Curtis, because she was to play an actress with whom the main character, Jack (Himesh Patel), feels some mutual attraction and, because Jack is already in a committed relationship with Ellie (Lily James), the audience didn’t like the flirtation with De Armas’ character.The film was to use, according to Curtis, “Ana De Armas as a complicating factor when he [Jack] arrived in L.A.
for the first time. And I think the audience did not like the fact that his eyes even strayed. Because then some people would go, ‘Oh, he really doesn’t deserve her.
He really doesn’t deserve Lily.’ You know, it’s one of those things where it’s some of our favorite scenes from the film, but we had to cut them for the sake of the whole.”De Armas is featured in the trailer.
