Dos fanáticos de Ana de Armas llegan a un acuerdo en demanda por el tráiler de 'Yesterday'

Two dedicated fans of Ana de Armas, Peter Rosza and Conor Woulfe, reached a settlement in their lawsuit against Universal Studios over the trailer of the film "Yesterday." The men filed the lawsuit in 2022, alleging they had been defrauded when they paid $3.99 to rent the movie on a streaming platform and were misled by the trailer, which featured the Cuban actress in a prominent role, despite her being removed from the final cut of the film.

For those unfamiliar with the film, "Yesterday" is a musical comedy directed by Danny Boyle and written by Richard Curtis. The story revolves around Jack Malik (played by Himesh Patel), a struggling singer-songwriter from a small English town, who wakes up after an unexplained global blackout to find himself the only person on Earth who remembers The Beatles. He then becomes an overnight sensation by performing the Fab Four's songs as his own.

Ana de Armas, who gained international recognition for her roles in films like "Knives Out" and "No Time to Die," was originally cast as the romantic interest in "Yesterday." However, she was reportedly replaced by Lily James during the production due to scheduling conflicts.

Rosza and Woulfe, who are based in California, claimed they watched the trailer for "Yesterday" on YouTube, which featured de Armas prominently. They argued that the trailer misrepresented the film's content and that they would not have rented it if they had known she was not in the final version.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, sought damages for the alleged false advertising and misrepresentation. The plaintiffs argued that the trailer's inclusion of de Armas was a material misrepresentation that influenced their decision to rent the film.

Universal Studios, one of the most prominent Hollywood studios, denied the allegations and argued that the trailer accurately represented the film as it was in development and that the casting changes were common in the film industry.

However, the two parties reached an undisclosed settlement last week, bringing an end to the legal battle. The terms of the settlement are not publicly known, and neither side has commented on the matter.

It is important to note that this lawsuit highlights the growing trend of fans taking legal action against studios and streaming platforms for misrepresentation in trailers and marketing materials. As technology advances and more content becomes available online, consumers have increasingly high expectations for transparency and accuracy in advertising.

In conclusion, Peter Rosza and Conor Woulfe, two fans of Ana de Armas, reached a settlement in their lawsuit against Universal Studios over the misrepresentation of the actress's role in the trailer for the film "Yesterday." The men claimed they were misled into renting the film due to the trailer's inclusion of de Armas, despite her being replaced by another actress in the final cut. The terms of the settlement are not publicly known. The case underscores the growing importance of transparency and accuracy in film marketing and trailers.
