Two moviegoers were authorized this Friday by American justice to sue a Hollywood studio.

They blame him for a misleading trailer, which prompted them to rent a film where their favorite actress was finally cut during the editing.

The two men each spent $3.99 to watch the movie “Yesterday” on Amazon Prime, thinking they would see Ana de Armas, an actress of whom they are both fans.

The actress initially appeared in the trailer for this Universal Pictures production.

No less than $5 million claimed

But in the final version of "Yesterday", which tells the story of a musician immersed in a parallel reality where the Beatles never existed, there is no trace of Ana de Armas who was cut during the editing.

The two men therefore turned against the studio by crying fraud in a class action.



According to the complaint, "consumers did not receive the expected value of their rental or purchase."

In its defense, Universal argued that the trailers are protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech.

A judge in charge of the case rejected this Thursday the argument of the studio.

“In essence, a trailer is an advertisement designed to sell a film by providing the consumer with a preview,” said the judge, thus authorizing the prosecution.

in their appeal, the two Americans claim 5 million dollars in compensation.

The case will be judged on the merits on April 3, 2023.
