Remember how some movie trailers show a scene that you expect to see in the movie, but it turns out it was either cut out or was made just for the trailer. I honestly can't stand it, because a trailer is supposed to sell what the movie is, and if a scene we saw in the trailer doesn't show up, it kinda takes that moment away.
But that practice of putting scenes that aren't a part of the movie into the trailer may no longer be allowed. I guess some fans of actress Ana De Armas sued Universal as she was featured in a trailer for a movie, yet wasn't actually in the final cut of the movie. The movie in question was Yesterday, that movie about the dude who wakes up to find that the band The Beatles didn't exist, so he steals their music. I guess de Armas was in the trailer, but cut from the movie and fans weren't happy about it.
If the case goes further, and they don't stop lying in trailers, they could be subject to California's False Adverting Law as well as the state’s Unfair Competition Law.
Story below:
I'm reminded of this because the Avengers did something similar with a few of their trailers, scenes that weren't even in the movie or completely different from what we saw in the trailer.
Do you agree that trailers should show you what to expect? Trailers do spoil a lot, so I get why some studios alter the trailers with different scenes, to keep the audience guessing kind of.
