Judge Tosses Suit From Fans Angry Over Ana de Armas’ ‘Yesterday’ Screentime
LET IT BE
Two fans, devastated to find the actor’s role had largely been cut out of the film, accused Universal of playing up her role in a trailer to hoodwink them into renting it.
A lawsuit filed by two aggrieved fans who claimed Universal Pictures hoodwinked them into paying $3.99 to watch 2019’s Yesterday—by deceptively editing its trailer to give the impression that Ana de Armas played a significant role in the movie—has been dismissed. A judge threw out the pair’s proposed $5 million class action lawsuit, saying that one of the aforementioned peeved fans had actually rented Yesterday a second time, thus rendering any “injury” he suffered entirely “self-inflicted.” (The fan claimed to have rented it again on the Google Play store, just in case he’d missed any de Armas scenes in the director’s cut.)
